Hello and thank you for joining The Athletic‘s live coverage of this FA Cup semi-final between Chelsea and Leeds at Wembley.
What an intriguing contest we have on our hands today. Chelsea parted ways with Liam Rosenior this week and are in free fall after losing their third game in a row — and fifth-straight in the Premier League — on Tuesday.
Leeds, meanwhile, have climbed further away from the relegation zone with a string of good results and, against an opponent in disarray, will fancy their chances of reaching a first FA Cup final in more than 50 years.
We’ll have all the build-up and team news ahead of kick-off so stay tuned for more updates throughout the day. Let’s get started, shall we?
