Portsmouth, the 2008 winners, have a trip to the national stadium to look forward to after they eliminated Birmingham at Fratton Park on Saturday. They will face either Fulham or Tottenham in the semis, which will be played at Wembley on April 10 and 11.

so does anyone know when will we find out?  I am offski but I don't want to miss the semi...

[The Doctor]

If it helps at all, should we beat Juventus and make the FA Cup semi final we will have to play the semi on Sunday 11th April as the 2nd leg of the Europa quarter final is on Thursday 8th April.

If we don't get past Juve, then its entirely at the FA's discretion.  I'd like to think that Villa will get given the Saturday game anyway to make the journey a bit easier for their fans as they've got the greatest distance to travel, but when has that ever been a priority for the authorities?
