Leeds United will meet Chelsea at Wembley after reaching the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time in 39 years.


Leeds advanced with a 4-2 penalty shootout win over Premier League relegation rivals West Ham United following a thrilling 2-all draw.

Leeds last reached the FA Cup last four in 1987, losing 3-2 to eventual winners Coventry City, and lifted the trophy only once, in 1972. 

Last year’s beaten finalists Manchester City will face Championship side Southampton in the other semi-final after the Saints stunned Premier League leaders Arsenal.

The semi-finals will be played on April 26th at 3am.
