Chelsea to meet Aston Villa in FA Cup semi, Portsmouth to face Tottenham or Fulham

Aston Villa will meet Chelsea in a mouthwatering FA Cup semi-final at Wembley following Sunday's draw.

Villa staged a stunning comeback at Reading earlier in the day recovering from a two-goal half-time deficit to win 4-2. Chelsea's sixth-round tie proved a lot more straightforward as goals from Frank Lampard and John Terry saw off Stoke.

The other tie throws up the intriguing possibility of Tottenham boss Harry Rednkapp meeting his former side Portsmouth. However, Spurs must first get past Fulham with whom they played out a dull goalless draw on Saturday.
