The pick of the ties is undoubtedly the renewing of a classic cup rivalry between the West London and Yorkshire clubs, which stretches back to a famously fiery 1970 final.
The Blues have not won the cup since 2018, losing three finals in a row from 2020 to 2022, while Leeds are in their first semi-final for 39 long years.
City are the favourites to win the cup for the eighth time and will be heavily fancied to make a fourth consecutive final against the Saints .
However, Tonda Eckert's men stunned Arsenal in the quarter-final and will be confident of upsetting another Premier League giant.
Both games will take place at Wembley on the weekend of 25/26th of April.
