FA Cup holders Chelsea have been handed a home quarter-final against either Manchester City or Stoke in last night's draw.


FA Cup holders Chelsea have been handed a home quarter-final against either Manchester City or Stoke in last night's draw.

Carlo Ancelotti's side defeated Championship club Cardiff 4-1 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday and will have to wait until next week's replay at the Britannia Stadium to discover if City or Stoke will travel to west London. If Roberto Mancini's side get through, it would mean a potentially uncomfortable meeting between Chelsea captain John Terry and City left-back Wayne Bridge.

Terry is alleged to have had an affair with the ex-girlfriend of former Chelsea team-ate Bridge and fall-out from the scandal has already cost the Chelsea star the England captaincy.

Crystal Palace, who were just minutes away from defeating Aston Villa before being held to a 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park last night, would face a fellow Championship side in Reading or West Brom if they can win their replay at Villa Park.

Bolton or Tottenham, who shared a 1-1 draw at the Reebok Stadium last night, will travel to Fulham, while troubled Portsmouth host Birmingham.
