Chelsea seek their redemption this Sunday at Wembley. After a season to forget, the Blues need to secure that coveted FA Cup final spot. Standing in their way is Leeds.
Wembley Stadium dresses up for a party this Sunday to decide one of the four semifinalists of the FA Cup, the oldest club tournament on the planet. On one side will be Chelsea, which will look to start Calum McFarlane's interim tenure in the best possible way, while facing them will be Daniel Farke's Leeds, which will try to reach glory for the first time in more than 50 years.
On the other side, Manchester City has already done its homework by completing a comeback against Southampton, which was winning 1-0 until the 81st minute, but thanks to Doku and Gonzalez, they were able to turn the score around and thus qualify for their fourth consecutive FA Cup final, being the first team in history to achieve such a feat.
Injuries and doubts for the match:
Estevao (hamstring), Reece James (thigh), Filip Jorgensen (groin), Levi Colwill (knee/fitness), and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (thigh).
