The clash against Southampton will be their eighth consecutive FA Cup semi-final as they bid to become the first club ever to reach four successive FA Cup finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Man City are currently enjoying a record run of winning their last 21 FA Cup matches against sides from outside the Premier League, during which they\u2019ve scored 84 goals and let in only 11. Beating Southampton in an FA Cup semi-final tends to be a blessing, with eight of the nine teams to eliminate the Saints at this stage going on to win the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One slight, yet surprising, blip for Man City is the remarkable statistic surrounding their goal-machine Erling Haaland, who has never scored or assisted in a single semi-final or final in any competition for Man City: that&#8217;s a run of 14 games. He does, however, have 12 goals in 12 FA Cup appearances, including a hat-trick against Liverpool in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/manchester-city-trophy-multiples-treble-april-25-26\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Manchester City 2025-26 trophy multiples<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/23124015\/ErlingHaaland23022026_3DTCB9J-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1434467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/23124015\/ErlingHaaland23022026_3DTCB9J-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/23124015\/ErlingHaaland23022026_3DTCB9J-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/23124015\/ErlingHaaland23022026_3DTCB9J-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/23124015\/ErlingHaaland23022026_3DTCB9J-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/23124015\/ErlingHaaland23022026_3DTCB9J-2048x1448.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/23124015\/ErlingHaaland23022026_3DTCB9J-378x267.jpg 378w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/23124015\/ErlingHaaland23022026_3DTCB9J-283x200.jpg 283w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/23124015\/ErlingHaaland23022026_3DTCB9J-85x60.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/23124015\/ErlingHaaland23022026_3DTCB9J-150x106.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/23124015\/ErlingHaaland23022026_3DTCB9J-40x28.jpg 40w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Championship side Southampton are enjoying a stunning 20 game unbeaten run (W15 D5) in all competitions dating back to mid-January, which includes back-to-back FA Cup win over Premier League sides Fulham and Arsenal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Saints, who won the FA Cup 50 years ago, are bidding to become the first club outside of the Premier League to reach the FA Cup final since Cardiff City in 2007-08. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will be the club\u2019s third FA Cup semi-final in the last nine seasons, but they have lost their last two.

In fact, no Leeds player has found the net there since Eric Cantona in 1992.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Daniel Farke\u2019s side can take confidence from their form against Chelsea this season, remaining unbeaten in two meetings (one win, one draw), while the Blues come into this clash on the back of seven defeats in their last eight matches across all competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
