Chelsea have named their team to face Leeds United in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley.

The old rivals lock horns under the arch this afternoon with a place in the FA Cup final the prize on offer.

Interim manager Calum McFarlane leads Chelsea out, and has been boosted by the return of Joao Pedro. The Brazilian missed the recent defeats to Manchester United and former club Brighton with a thigh issue, but has been passed fit to feature against Leeds.

There’s no place in the side for Cole Palmer, who is named on the bench. Palmer is another who has been nursing an issue and is among the substitutes.

Enzo Fernandez again captains the side in the absence of Reece James.

Chelsea XI vs Leeds: Sanchez; Gusto, Chalobah, Tosin, Cucurella; Caicedo, Lavia, Fernandez; Neto, Garnacho, Pedro.

Substitutes: Sharman-Lowe, Acheampong, Fofana, Hato, Andrey Santos, Essugo, Derry, Palmer, Delap.
