    A big score in Italy as Juventus lose at home to promoted Benevento.

    Andrea Pirlo's side are 10 points off leaders Inter Milan with 11 games to go.

    It's looking like their nine-year reign as champions is coming to an end.

    Leicester v Man Utd (17:00 GMT)

    Leicester are without Ricardo Pereira because of a minor hamstring strain.

    Midfielder Dennis Praet is available after a 10-week absence with a hamstring injury of his own.

    Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford was taken off against AC Milan after feeling an unspecified "twinge" and he could be a doubt for Sunday.

    Paul Pogba marked his comeback with the winner in Milan, while the returning David De Gea and Donny van de Beek were unused substitutes.

    Sunday might come too soon for Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial, while Eric Bailly will also be assessed.

    The line-ups should be announced soon.

    FT: Chelsea 2-0 Sheff Utd

    Sheffield United

    Sheffield United interim manager Paul Heckingbottom speaking to BBC One: "It's a sickener but there are a lot of pleasing things. We more than deserved extra time. We want to look forward and take the positives. We'll never get a better chance, I don't think we started in the first half but we had a go second half and I was pleased with the response."

    On Chelsea's goals: "The first goal is disappointing because it was good play but we could have dealt with it. The second one you accept it might come up and you're susceptible. If it hadn't gone in we would still have two minutes to try again and have another chance because when we were going forward we were causing them problems."

    On moving forward: "I'm encouraged, it's been another week of turmoil and adversity, the boys we have put out today were in make shift positions at times but they showed a fight and willingness. The worst thing that can happen is we lose a football match and the best thing is we win one and everyone will be talking about it. We can't lose focus, we move on.

    "It will be nice to get the players away for a while. Some boys are away on international duty and then we'll all be back together in a few weeks. But we'll be working hard with the boys that we've got left."

    Before we start building up, I'd better tell you there's another game happening now.

    Thanks JJ. This should be a good one as the second and third best teams in England go head to head for a place at Wembley.

    Chelsea

    More from Tuchel: "We let them come back because we had full control in first half and second half a big chance with Christian Pulisic to finish the game early. We made too many easy mistakes and lost duels and lost some momentum.

    "I could tell in training we were tired and there was a lack of concentration. That can happen sometimes it gets harder to keep the level up - I'm happy we could help from the bench and in the end we have the win so we take that."

    Chelsea

    Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel speaking to BBC One: "Sounds excellent to say we're through to the semi-finals - it was a tough match. We had a good first half where we controlled everything. We lost control in the second half, we were clearly tired. After 14 consecutive matches I could feel we were tired and we made many little faults. We were lucky to keep the clean sheet in the second half but I think it's the first time in the 14 games we have looked tired. It's important to go through in the cup and that was the target and we reached it."

    Sheffield United certainly didn't make it easy. Some positives to take there though, Blades fans?

    Everything could have been so much different had this gone in...

    Chelsea's Christian Pulisic speaking to BBC One: "Sheffield United didn't make it easy on us - they have quality and we had to suffer a bit in the second half. But it's another clean sheet, a good performance.

    "We knew it would be a bit uncomfortable, there would always be a bit of pressure but we had to just work as a team which we did eventually.

    "They're a good defensive side, there were a couple of chances where myself and others could've done better but it's a good result.

    "We have a confident bunch of guys here and when you go on a streak like this we're feeling really good and we're feeling like we can beat anyone."

    Chelsea have now won 10 of their 14 games under Thomas Tuchel (D4), with only Manchester City (14) winning more matches across all competitions amongst all sides within the top five European leagues since the German’s first game in charge.

    "We made too many mistakes and lost too many duels," says Tuchel.

    The Chelsea boss also mentions a loss of concentration from his players after a busy week.

    Interesting how Chelsea couldn't get the second half by the scruff of the neck. That double substitution - bringing on Cesar Azpilicueta and Reece James - disrupted their momentum and shifted the balance of the game.

    Wonder what Tommy Tuchel (does anyone call him Tommy?) says about it. Much more nervier than it should have been.

    I think Chelsea have shaded it from the first half but Sheffield United gave us a game in the second half - which is what we wanted.

    If there were better decisions, this could've been going to extra time. But Sheffield United missed their chances, fluffed their lines and Chelsea advance.

    David McGoldrick had the chance, which Chelsea didn't look like they had the energy to respond to. There were golden chances for Sheffield United.

    Kudos to Sheffield United, by the way. They showed resolve and spirit, but ultimately weren't as good as Chelsea in both boxes.

    David McGoldrick won't be saying much on the train home from St Pancras. That miss will be replaying in head all the way back to Sheffield.

    Ruthless from Chelsea - just a few passes and they punish you. When you've got that much quality on the pitch it's just a matter of time. The movement in the box, he takes it on with the right foot and puts it away with the left. It's emphatic - Hakim Ziyech is starting to blossom and become the player we expected to see. Great finish.

    Chelsea's love affair with the FA Cup continues - they're through to the semi-finals.

    Not quite the manner of victory we might have expected before kick-off, but the bottom line is they have won and are going to Wembley!

    Counter-attack, transition - all the words you want to use! Ziyech on his favoured left foot and he knew where he wanted to put it, bottom corner. Great goal!
