Chelsea and Leeds United are set for a huge showdown on Sunday as they battle for a place in the FA Cup final.

There is a major opportunity for Daniel Farke‘s side at Wembley, particularly after Chelsea confirmed the sacking of Liam Rosenior on Wednesday following a five-match run without scoring.

On the same night, Leeds secured an important result away at Bournemouth, with Sean Longstaff’s last-gasp equaliser earning a point on the South Coast.

That 2-2 draw leaves Premier League safety all but assured for the Whites, allowing supporters to savour the semi-final without the burden of relegation concerns.

With more than 30,000 fans expected to make the journey to Wembley, MOT Leeds News brings you everything you need to know.

How to watch Chelsea vs Leeds

Throughout the campaign, the Whites have used the FA Cup to perfect effect as they have built momentum in the league.

By taking the competition seriously, Farke’s side have been consummate professionals and are now set to reap the reward of a trip to the national stadium.

With Sunday’s clash selected for TNT coverage, supporters unable to make the trip to London will be able to watch live on TNT Sports 1.

The match will also be shown on TNT Sports Ultimate in Ultra HD for viewers with the appropriate equipment.

Fans on the move can stream the action via the Sky Go app, subject to subscription, as well as through the HBO Max app and website.

BBC Radio 5 Live will also carry coverage of the game, along with other national radio stations.

Leeds set for reward after excellent FA Cup campaign

As mentioned, Farke’s side have acted professionally throughout the competition and now look set to reap the rewards.

While Leeds did enjoy a favourable run against Derby, Birmingham and Norwich before the quarter-final against West Ham, they still had to get the job done – and they did exactly that.

Safety was always the primary objective, but with that now all but secured, the opportunity is there to make a real impression at Wembley and mount a serious challenge for silverware.

Farke came under intense criticism at various points during the campaign, but his side have responded brilliantly.

Competing on both fronts, they now have the chance to give their supporters, who have backed them relentlessly since promotion to the Premier League last May, a day to celebrate at the national stadium.
