Analysis: Who will win the 2025/26 FA Cup?
Arsenal had been slight favourites before their surprise defeat, leaving Manchester City odds-on with bookmakers after the Cityzens extended their own record by reaching the semi-finals for an eighth successive season.
City thrashed third-tier Exeter City 10-1 at home in the third round and fourth-tier visitors Salford City 2-0 in the fourth round, then came from behind to win 3-1 at Newcastle.
Pep Guardiola’s side could win both major domestic cup competitions, having prevailed in the EFL Cup final against Arsenal on March 22 when Nico O’Reilly scored two headers inside five second-half minutes.
Chelsea are the most successful team in the history of the competition still involved this time, triumphing eight times.
The second-favourites were highly impressive in their initial two away ties under new manager Liam Rosenior, beating Championship opponents Charlton Athletic 5-1 in the Englishman’s first game in charge and hammering one of his former clubs, Hull City, 4-0 in the fourth round.
The Blues then fell behind twice at Championship club Wrexham and recovered to win 4-2 after extra time before a far easier contest against Vale, winning 7-0.
Leeds are third-favourites and the outsiders are Championship side Southampton, who also won at top-flight team Fulham in the fifth round.
