Leeds United head to Wembley for their first FA Cup semi-final in 39 years on Sunday, facing Chelsea at 3pm. Here is how we think Daniel Farke will set up.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Farke has rotated throughout the earlier rounds but now has major calls to make, with injury doubts over three players and one ruled out. He hinted at his approach to a key position in his pre-match press conference.

In goal, we think Lucas Perri keeps his FA Cup place even though Karl Darlow is the current first-choice. Perri has started every round and Farke suggested that past cup and season selections point to his weekend decision.

At right-back, James Justin could get the nod with Jayden Bogle a doubt due to a foot problem, and Justin may have been chosen there anyway with Joe Rodon fit again. Rodon could return at centre-back after a rapid recovery from an ankle issue, while Jaka Bijol’s form makes him a strong pick.

With Sebastiaan Bornauw a doubt after rolling an ankle in the warm-up at Bournemouth, Pascal Struijk may complete a back three. Farke might instead opt for a back four.

On the left, Gabi Gudmundsson is likely to start at wing-back given Justin’s potential duties elsewhere.
