here will be a mixture of excitement and trepidation for Leeds supporters when they descend on Wembley for their FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea on Sunday, returning to a venue that evokes plenty of painful memories, but that could now provide the springboard to a brighter future.
Leeds have lost on their past three visits; you have to go back to the days of Gordon Strachan, Gary McAllister and Eric Cantona for their last win there when, as champions of England, they defeated Liverpool in the 1992 Charity Shield.
Wembley has primarily been associated with heartbreak, and few moments illustrate that better than their most recent trip; a 1-0 defeat by Southampton in the 2024 Championship playoff final. That, however, proved to be a crucial moment for Leeds, who could have easily moved on from Daniel Farke after he failed to secure promotion.
