Chelsea face Leeds at Wembley in their FA Cup semi-final, with the winner to face Manchester City in the showpiece on Saturday 16 May.
A win over Leeds would be a crucial boost the Blues following the sacking of Liam Rosenior, with Calum McFarlane returning to the interim hot seat bidding to turn around the club’s fortunes.
The Blues have endured a run of five successive Premier League games without scoring – their worst run in 114 years – and will need to prove less toothless in front of goal if they are to see off Daniel Farke’s side.
Leeds meanwhile are still on a hot streak after snatching a last-gasp draw at Bournemouth, which took them to the all-important 40-point barrier in a huge boost to their Premier League survival bid.
Here’s everything you need to know.
