Chelsea have had a very favourable road to Wembley so far, and many will see this still as a pretty decent draw even though it is against Premier League opposition. They’ve managed to avoid Manchester City, and other than City, it looks like a really good chance for Chelsea to get silverware.

Leeds and Chelsea is a historic match, with a real rivalry between the two sides dating back to the 70s. There has been some nasty encounters between the two sides, so this is being billed as a mouth-watering semi final clash.

In comments picked up by The Chelsea Chronicle, Joe Cole instantly responded with “ooh, that is feisty, 1970”, briefly mentioning the final 56 years ago on TNT Sports.

I certainly expect it to be another feisty one, with both sides being up for it, or at least I hope Chelsea will be up for it.
