Charlton Athletic 1-5 Chelsea - Third round

Our road to Wembley started with a five-star performance in south-east London, as the Blues fired five past our Championship opponents. A totally dominant performance, including almost 80 per cent possession in the first half, saw Jorrel Hato fire an impressive strike to open the scoring - his first for the club since joining in the summer.

Meanwhile, further strikes from Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu, Pedro Neto and an Enzo Fernandez spot-kick ensured our safe progression to the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Hull City 0-4 Chelsea - Fourth round

The Blues produced another stellar display against Championship opposition in the fourth round, and this time it was Neto who would steal the headlines with a stunning Humberside hat-trick. Whipping the ball in from outside the box, the Portuguese international opened the scoring, before his second came direct from a corner after the break.

Before his third and final goal, Estevao Willian made it three for the Blues with a composed finish in front of goal, as Neto completed his hat-trick eight minutes later. It wasn't the only hat-trick to be recorded that night, as striker Liam Delap racked up a trio of assists during a bitterly cold evening against his former loan club.

Wrexham 2-4 Chelsea (AET) - Fifth round

We headed to Wales for the next round, as the draw produced our first meeting with the Red Dragons since 1982 - and it was a thriller at the Racecourse. The Blues came back from behind twice to beat Wrexham, with an own goal and a strike from Josh Acheampong forcing extra time before a winner could be decided.

During the extra 30 minutes it was all Chelsea, as after the hosts had been reduced to ten men, Alejandro Garnacho fired past the Wrexham stopper to make it 3-2, before substitute Joao Pedro made it four deep into stoppage time as the Blues progressed into the final eight of the competition.

Chelsea 7-0 Port Vale - Quarter-final

Our most recent win in the FA Cup this season came at Stamford Bridge - our first in the competition this season - and it's fair to say that the supporters in attendance were treated to a glut of goals. It took just 64 seconds to break the deadlock as Hato found the net. Joao Pedro would soon make it two with back-to-back goals in FA Cup games, before Port Vale's Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel turned into his own net.

It was much of the same after the break as Tosin headed home, before Andrey Santos did the same to make it five. Estevao got in on the act to tap home in front of the Matthew Harding Stand, while Garnacho wrapped up the victory - and our place in the semi-finals - from the penalty spot.

Chelsea v Leeds United - Semi-final

This Sunday promises to be a special chapter in the rivalry between the Blues and the Whites, with the two sides having only gone head-to-head in six previous FA Cup ties, with each one seeing Chelsea progress - most recently in the 2023/24 fifth round.

The 1970 FA Cup final is the only other time Chelsea have played Leeds at Wembley Stadium, while our only previous meeting in a FA Cup semi-final was in 1967 at Villa Park, when Tony Hateley scored the decisive goal at the end of the first half for Tommy Docherty’s side.
