Enzo Fernandez 24'
The Blues go in front through captain Enzo Fernandez.
Pascal Struijk dawdles after taking down a long Robert Sanchez ball from the back.
Pedro takes the ball and quickly sends Fernandez into the 18, where the Argentine slashes it past Lucas Perri.
1-0, 24'.
Enzo Fernandez gives Joao Pedro a chance from the left side.
It's a tough angle and Pedro claps the near post.
Alejandro Garnacho has gotten the ball a lot on the left side and it seems to be an area of focus. He's yet to make the most of it.
0-0, 23'.
A terrific combination play from Leeds has Brenden Aaronson into the box and he tries to roll the ball inside the far post but Robert Sanchez does very well to get his ankle on the ball and send it wide for a corner.
Sanchez then collects the corner after it's headed into the air.
0-0, 16'.
Noah Okafor leads a driving run down the center and Moises Caicedo fouls him 2-3 yards outside the box.
The kick won't be taken immediately as Malo Gusto is dealing with a rogue stud from the boot of Ao Tanaka.
How will the Blues look in their first match after the firing of Liam Rosenior, as Cole Palmer is on the bench and Tosin Adarabioyo gets a start in the back line?
And will Leeds deal with the occasion?

Reeling Chelsea begin life after Liam Rosenior with a huge FA Cup semifinal against Leeds United at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
The Blues fired Rosenior earlier this week with Chelsea spiraling out of the UEFA Champions League race thanks to a five-match losing run in which the side failed to score a goal.
Leeds have put even more of focus on the FA Cup after pulling nine points clear of the bottom three. Daniel Farke's men would consider Premier League survival and a stunning trip to the final as a big success.
The winner of this game will face Manchester City in the FA Cup final on Saturday, May 16.
OUT: Estevao (thigh), Enzo Fernandez (suspension - MORE), Jamie Gittens (thigh), Filip Jorgensen (groin), Levi Colwill (torn ACL - MORE), Mykhailo Mudryk (suspension) | QUESTIONABLE: Joao Pedro (thigh), Cole Palmer (thigh), Reece James (thigh)
OUT: Ilia Gruev (knee) | QUESTIONABLE: Sebastiaan Bornauw (ankle), Jayden Bogle (ankle), Anton Stach (ankle)
The injury report will play a huge part in this tie, because Joao Pedro, Reece James, and Cole Palmer are huge parts of what Chelsea do well and Estevao's absence won't help at all. Liam Delap and Alejandro Garnacho have struggled, and Leeds will be very up for the occasion. The Blues should escape this to reach the final but it's going to be tricky. Chelsea 2-1 (4-3 pens) Leeds United
