Daniel Farke’s team defeated Premier League relegation rivals West Ham 4-2 on penalties following an exciting 2-2 draw on Sunday. Last season’s runners-up Manchester City will meet Championship outfit Southampton in the other semi-final. The Saints, whose sole FA Cup win came in 1976, shocked Premier League leaders Arsenal on Saturday to earn a clash with the seven-time champions. Leeds last made the FA Cup last four in 1987, losing 3-2 to eventual winners Coventry City at Hillsborough, and claimed the trophy once in 1972. Their matchup against eight-time winners Chelsea will evoke the 1970 final, where the Blues prevailed after a replay at Old Trafford—the first FA Cup final to need one since 1912. This year’s semi-finals are set for Wembley on the weekend of April 25-26. FA Cup semi-final ties: Manchester City versus Southampton. Chelsea versus Leeds United. Associated subjects. Football.
