Looking ahead to Sunday afternoon’s Emirates FA Cup semi-final clash against Chelsea, Daniel Farke says he trusts his side to deliver a strong performance under Wembley’s iconic arch.

The Whites travel down to the capital after progressing on penalties against West Ham United, where two smart stops from goalkeeper Lucas Perri enabled Pascal Struijk to fire Leeds into the last four with the deciding spot kick.

Now, with attentions firmly fixed on the task in hand following a midweek draw against AFC Bournemouth, the manager said: “We will not do anything too special for this game and we will prepare like a normal Premier League game.

“I am also quite confident that many Leeds United supporters will be there in order to cheer us on and to support us. For that, we look forward to have a pretty special day.

“We are used to playing teams of this calibre. We stayed unbeaten against top sides during the season against Liverpool and Chelsea themselves. We know if we have a tough day and we deliver in a perfect way, we will always have a chance.

“We are playing this game in a good moment for us. We are in a good shape and also seven games unbeaten in all competitions and for that we travel with respect but not fearful.

“We travel in a good mood and are looking forward to play this game. We will stick to our DNA. We have to be brave, play on the front foot, be good in possession and threaten the opponent’s goal.

“We also have to be ready to suffer and defend well as a unit but also be ready to go through tricky moments during a game and if we show this, we have a chance.

“I trust my lads and I trust my group. The result is not a guarantee because we also face a strong opponent who has unbelievable quality and a very skilful squad.

“I am pretty sure that the lads will leave their hearts out on the pitch and like always be professional. We will prepare and try to have the best possible game plan.”
