This will be the first FA Cup tie between Chelsea and Leeds United since the 1970 final, which the Blues won after a replay. Chelsea have never lost in eight previous FA Cup games against Leeds (W5 D3).
Leeds have lost each of their last six away games against Chelsea in all competitions, all coming in the Premier League from 2002 to 2023. The Whites’ last such win at Stamford Bridge was in December 1999 (2-0).
Chelsea have progressed from 13 of their last 15 FA Cup fifth round ties, failing only against Man City in 2013-14 and Man Utd in 2018-19 in this time, the latter of which was their last home defeat in the FA Cup.
Leeds United are looking to reach the FA Cup quarter-final for the first time since 2002-03. They’ve been eliminated from this stage of the competition three times since then, including a 2-0 loss to Fulham last term.
Enzo Fernández scored in both of Chelsea’s FA Cup wins this season, netting in the third round against Preston and fourth round replay at Aston Villa. The last player to score in each of the third, fourth, and fifth rounds of a single FA Cup campaign for the club was Pedro in 2016-17.
Leeds have scored at least three goals in four of their last six FA Cup matches, as many times as they had in their previous 49 matches in the competition combined.
