FA Cup semi-finals drawn
Aston Villa will face Chelsea in the semi-finals of the FA Cup while either Fulham or Spurs will take on Portsmouth.
Carling Cup runners-up Villa booked their place in the last four after coming from two-goals down to win 4-2 at Reading on Sunday while Chelsea brushed aside Stoke 2-0.
Frank Lampard and John Terry scored in each half as Carlo Ancelotti's side ensured the Potters would not upset any more big names following wins over Arsenal and Manchester City.
The other semi-final sees either Fulham or Spurs take on 2008 winners Portsmouth.
The teams played out a goalless draw at Craven Cottage on Saturday and now the teams will do battle again at White Hart Lane for the right to face crisis-club Pompey at Wembley.
Pompey secured a much-needed cash-boost after getting the better of Birmingham City on Saturday with Frederique Piquionne bagging a brace for Avram Grant's side.
Ties to be played at Wembley on the weekend of April 10/11
