Leeds last reached the FA Cup semi-finals in 1987. Leeds United will play Chelsea at Wembley after reaching the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time in 39 years. Daniel Farke's side beat Premier League relegation rivals West Ham 4-2 on penalties to progress after a thrilling 2-2 draw on Sunday.
Last year's beaten finalists Manchester City will take on Championship side Southampton in the other semi-final. The Saints, whose only FA Cup triumph was back in 1976, stunned Premier League leaders Arsenal on Saturday to set up the encounter with seven-time winners City.
Leeds last reached the FA Cup last four in 1987, when they were beaten 3-2 by eventual winners Coventry City at Hillsborough, and lifted the trophy for the only time in 1972. Their meeting with eight-time winners Chelsea will also stir up memories of the 1970 showpiece between the sides, in which the Blues triumphed after a replay at Old Trafford - the first FA Cup final at that time to require one since 1912.
This year's ties will be played at Wembley on the weekend of 25-26 April.
