Chelsea will face Leeds United at Wembley, with Manchester City taking on Southampton as the FA Cup semi-final ties have been decided.

West Ham took on Leeds at the London Stadium in the sole Sunday fixture, with the visitors progressing after a thrilling tie went all the way to penalties. They join Manchester City, Chelsea and Championship side Southampton.

The Saints are in the semis after stunning Premier League leaders Arsenal on Saturday night. The Gunners headed to the south coast looking to maintain their treble hopes after their quadruple dream went up in smoke in last month's Carabao Cup final.

But Southampton won a thumping cup tie with a late goal to ensure they will head to Wembley later this month as the lowest ranked team.
