Chelsea and Leeds United meet at Wembley Stadium on Sunday in the second of this season’s FA Cup semifinals.
The Blues beat Leeds in a tempestuous FA Cup final back in 1970 — one that went to a replay — and each side will be desperate for the chance to return to Wembley for this year’s final on May 16.
Callum McFarlane will take charge of the Blues after Liam Rosenior was sacked this week after less than four months in the job.
