FA CUP SEMIFINAL DRAW
The FA Cup semi-final draw took place on Sunday night, confirming the final four teams and two blockbuster Wembley clashes.
The draw paired Chelsea with Leeds United, while Manchester City will face Southampton.
Chelsea enters as slight favourites (60%) to reach the final given their dominant run, but Leeds United (40%) have momentum after a dramatic quarter-final win. Manchester City are the strongest contenders overall, with a 70% chance of progressing due to their depth and recent form, while Southampton, the competition’s surprise package, are given a 30% chance but remain dangerous after upsetting stronger opposition.
Overall, the draw has set up a compelling contrast between elite sides and underdogs. With both semi-finals scheduled for Wembley later this month, the stage is set for an exciting battle to reach the final, where experience could prove decisive, but surprises remain very possible.
