FA Cup 5th Round Draw: Chelsea Get Birmingham At Home

Chelsea have drawn against Birmingham City in the 5th round of the FA Cup, giving the Blues a relatively straightforward home match against a Championship side to get to the quarterfinals of a tournament that we could well be the favourites for at this point. Unlike the last round, there is at most one all-Premier League draw (depending on the eventual outcome of Sunderland vs. Middlesbrough), so it's going to be relatively quiet.

That's ok, though. Better to get a relatively straightforward tie against the likes of Birmingham than to have to travel to Anfield or something. The quarterfinals should be fairly juicy - you'd expect Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur as well as the Blues to each be involved at that stage, but we probably shouldn't be counting our velociraptors before they're hatched.
