The semi-final lineup for the FA Cup has been confirmed, with four teams now just one win away from reaching the final at Wembley.

Chelsea FC will face Leeds United in one of the ties, while Manchester City take on Southampton FC in the other.

Chelsea head into the semi-finals looking to end a long wait for FA Cup success. The Blues have not lifted the trophy since 2018 and have come close in recent years, losing three consecutive finals between 2020 and 2022. That run still lingers, and they will see this as another big chance to finally go all the way.

Leeds, on the other hand, are enjoying a special moment. This is their first FA Cup semi-final in 39 years, and they have already exceeded expectations to get this far. There’s a sense of momentum around them, and they won’t be heading into the game just to make up the numbers.

In the second semi-final, Manchester City are widely seen as favourites. They are chasing what would be their eighth FA Cup title and are aiming to reach a fourth straight final. With their depth and consistency, they will go into the game with confidence.

But Southampton have already shown they can surprise people. Tonda Eckert’s side knocked out Arsenal FC in the quarter-finals, a result that turned heads and proved they can compete with top teams. That win alone will give them belief heading into this next challenge.

Both semi-final matches will be played at Wembley Stadium on the weekend of April 25 and 26, with a place in the final on the line.
