Barnsley have been rewarded for their shock fifth-round victory over Liverpool with a home tie against Chelsea in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The Championship side beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield and now take on Avram Grant's men at Oakwell after Chelsea's 3-1 win over Huddersfield Town.

Manchester United face Portsmouth at Old Trafford, while at least one side from outside the Premier League will be in the semi-finals after Bristol Rovers were drawn at home to West Bromwich Albion, having knocked out Southampton on Saturday.

Sheffield United or Middlesbrough will host Cardiff in the remaining match.

"I'm very pleased, it's fantastic to draw Chelsea at home," Simon Davey, the Barnsley manager, said. "We wanted a home tie and to get Chelsea is brilliant.

"In the last round against Liverpool, 6,000 Barnsley fans came to Anfield - now we can fill our stadium against another fantastic, world class team. It's a good reward for beating Liverpool in the last round.

"We played Blackpool, then Southend, then we were looking for a big club. To draw Liverpool at Anfield was fantastic for us. We won that, and now we have the chance to play against more world class players at home.

"We've got a fantastic home record at the moment and hopefully we can continue it and get into the semi-finals."

Davey is, however, wary of the big-name match-winners Chelsea possess. "I think there's a few - Frank Lampard, John Terry, Joe Cole, there are endless names from Chelsea that are going to give us nightmares," he said.

"We've got to concentrate on the league now, but it's a fantastic draw for us and we can't wait for it. The players have got to relish it. I'm sure they will be capable of putting on a good performance, like they did at Anfield."

Brian Howard, the Barnsley captain and scorer of their winning goal, was also delighted by the draw. "It's another unbelievable tie," Howard said. "We went to Anfield and now this is another test, the holders coming here to defend their crown.

"With it being a home tie the whole town will be queuing for tickets, the whole place will be buzzing. With the magic of the cup, you never know what could happen."

Howard had a brief spell at Chelsea but did not get near the first team. "I had three or four months there and then Roman Abramovich came in and signed pretty much the best players in the world," he added. "It will be nice to prove to them I'm good enough to play."

Meanwhile, Sir Alex Ferguson was resigned to his fate after Manchester United were once again paired with a Premier League side.

United side have had to overcome Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal to reach the last eight of the competition, and they played six top-flight sides in last season's FA Cup, including Portsmouth.

"It's a home draw, so it doesn't matter who you get.," Ferguson said. "But it's typical that we have another Premier League team.

"The good thing about the FA Cup, though, is that the opposition bring an increased number of supporters, which makes for a great atmosphere. We've had two great home ties against Spurs and Arsenal in the previous rounds, and hopefully we'll have another one against Portsmouth."

The ties will be played on the weekend of March 8 and 9.
