Crisis-stricken Blues looking to get season back on track in crunch semi-final clash

This season’s second FA Cup final contender will be confirmed this afternoon as Chelsea face Leeds in the semi-final at Wembley Stadium. The Blues come into the match in something of a crisis, with seven defeats in their last eight matches and an interim manager in the dugout after Liam Rosenior was relieved of his duties earlier this week. Calum McFarlane is in for his second spell as stand-in first-team head coach, then, and faces a tricky rivalry match-up here in this, his second managerial debut of the campaign.

Leeds, meanwhile, are in fine fettle. They are unbeaten in seven and are riding high, with victories over Manchester United and Wolves fresh in the memory. They have reached this stage of the competition for the first time since 1987, and could confirm a first final berth since they finished as runners-up in 1973.

This afternoon’s winner will face Manchester City in May’s final after they edged past Southampton here yesterday. Follow the action LIVE below with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog, complete with expert insight and analysis from Dom Smith at Wembley Stadium.
