• Portsmouth face Tottenham or Fulham in other tie
• Tough tie for the Cup holders

Chelsea were rewarded for their 2-0 victory over Stoke with a tough semi-final tie against Aston Villa.

Villa fought back from 2-0 drown to defeat Reading 4-2 to reach the semi-final, their second appearance at Wembley this season after their Carling Cup final defeat. “I think at this stage any tie will be tough,” said Chelsea assistant manager Ray Wilkins after the draw.

In the other semi-final Portsmouth will face the winner of the replay between Tottenham and Fulham.

The ties will be played on the weekend of 10 and 11 April at Wembley Stadium.
