Leeds United will play Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals after getting the better of West Ham United on penalties at the London Stadium, while Manchester City will face Southampton.
Leeds last reached the FA Cup last four in 1987, when they were beaten 3-2 by eventual winners Coventry City at Hillsborough, and lifted the trophy for the only time in 1972.
Their meeting with eight-time winners Chelsea will also stir up memories of the 1970 showpiece between the sides, in which the Blues triumphed after a replay at Old Trafford – the first FA Cup final at that time to require one since 1912.
City, who dismantled Liverpool 4-0 to reach the final four for an eighth consecutive season, will face promotion-chasing Southampton after they stunned Premier League leaders Arsenal at St Mary’s in a 2-1 win.
The semi-final matches will take place at Wembley Stadium on either Saturday April 25 or Sunday April 26.
FA Cup semi-final ties:
