A brief glance at the Premier League table would suggest there is a clear favourite in this FA Cup semi-final. That is very much not the case.
Chelsea's hopes of Champions League qualification are fading fast and the FA Cup represents the last opportunity to salvage some silverware from a campaign that appears to be petering out. Despite spending well over £1billion in four years under owners BlueCo, the club have not won a domestic honour since 2018 - they have had eight different permanent managers in that time.
If you are talking about clubs who are overdue some success, Leeds certainly deserve to feature in the conversation. The Whites have not lifted a major trophy since winning the top flight in 1992, while they last reached an FA Cup semi-final back in 1987.
In the here and now, Leeds are the form side heading into this tie, despite starting the weekend seven places below Chelsea in the Premier League. Nine points from their past five league games, including a last-gasp 2-2 draw at Bournemouth on Wednesday, has lifted Daniel Farke's side nine points clear of the relegation zone in their first season back in the top flight. With survival all-but assured, they can put everything into Sunday's game without worrying about the impact on their league form.
