Chelsea vs Leeds United: FA Cup Semifinal Preview and Lineups

Chelsea and Leeds United meet in an FA Cup semifinal this weekend, bringing back memories of past battles between these historic rivals.

Chelsea is expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation with Robert Sanchez in goal. The defense will feature Josh Acheampong, Trevoh Chalobah, Jorrel Hato, and Marc Cucurella across the back line.

Leeds United's predicted starting eleven includes Karl Darlow in goal, with James Justin, Jaka Bijol, Pascal Struijk, and Jayden Bogle forming the defense. The midfield and attack will feature Ao Tanaka, Ethan Ampadu, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Brendan Aaronson, Noah Okafor, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Daniel Farke is hoping Jayden Bogle will be available after picking up a knock to his foot. The Leeds manager was targeting Friday's training session for Bogle's return.

Chelsea's formation mirrors what caretaker manager McFarlane used in January, setting up with the same 4-2-3-1 system in his previous matches in charge.
