Chelsea booked their place in the final of this season’s FA Cup on Sunday afternoon after a narrow 1-0 win over Leeds United.
A solitary goal from Enzo Fernández, assisted by Pedro Neto in the 23rd minute, was enough for the Blues to secure their spot in the final at Wembley Stadium.
Leeds’ defeat ends their hopes of reaching a first FA Cup final since 1973, when they lost to Sunderland.

The 2026 Emirates FA Cup final is scheduled for Saturday, 16 May, with a confirmed kick-off time of 3 pm (UK time).
Chelsea currently occupy 8th position in the Premier League table with four league fixtures remaining; the FA Cup could be their only route back to European competition.
