Re: Cup finals clash
A Leeds 9-0 hammering vs Man City in the FA Cup final followed by a next day 6-0 hammering by Coventry in the play off final would be as good a football weekend as there has been since 2009.

Leeds losing both to Coventry would be even better and funnier.

Re: Cup finals clash
Based on quarter-finals draw, only 3 championship clubs are possibles to make the FA cup final: Leeds or Leicester, Southampton and Coventry. But all that could change later this evening, never mind in the quarters and semis.

Wolverhampton Wanderers/Brighton & Hove Albion v Coventry City
Nottingham Forest/Manchester United v Liverpool/Southampton
Chelsea/Leeds United v Leicester City

Re: Cup finals clash
Both Coventry and Leicester have winnable draws
They could then face each other in the semis
But probably unlikely either will get to the Play-off final

Re: Cup finals clash
realistically you'd fancy wolves over Coventry, and Leicester have a chance at Chelsea, but under 50%.
Even if they both won, they'd be joined in the semi-finals by City & Liverpool/ Utd. They'd likely lose to either, and if drawn against each other, Leicester would be favourites, who should be promoted automatically. Would be a long shot for a team to be in both.
Would be interesting how they'd move around with Champions league final at Wembley on the 1st June though.
