A quick look at the Premier League table suggests there is a clear favorite in this FA Cup semi-final. This is largely not the case.
Chelsea’s hopes of Champions League qualification are fading fast and the FA Cup represents the last chance to salvage some silverware from a campaign that looks set to run out of steam. Despite spending well over £1billion in four years under owners BlueCo, the club have not won a domestic honor since 2018 – they have had eight different permanent managers in that time.
If you’re talking about clubs overdue for some success, Leeds certainly deserve to be in the conversation. The Whites have not lifted a major trophy since winning the top flight in 1992, while they last reached an FA Cup semi-final back in 1987.
Here and now, Leeds are the in-form side heading into this tie, despite starting the weekend seven places below Chelsea in the Premier League. Nine points from their last five league games, including a last-gasp 2-2 draw at Bournemouth on Wednesday, have lifted Daniel Farke’s side nine points clear of the relegation zone in their first season back in the top flight. With survival almost certain, they can put everything into Sunday’s game without worrying about the impact on their league form.
