FA Cup draw pairs City with Southampton, Chelsea with Leeds

The FA Cup semifinal draw has set up two ties steeped in history: Manchester City will face Southampton, while Chelsea will meet Leeds United at Wembley on the weekend of April 25-26.

City, 4-0 conquerors of Liverpool, are chasing a fourth straight final appearance and remain the competition’s seven-time champions. Southampton, who stunned Arsenal 2-1 on Saturday, return to the last four for the first time since their 1976 triumph and will meet Pep Guardiola’s side.

Chelsea, 7-0 victors over League One Port Vale, booked their place opposite Leeds after the Yorkshire club edged West on penalties. Leeds, contest their first semifinal 39 years, will meet familiar opposition: the two clubs famously contested the 1970 final, settled by a replay won by the Londoners.
