Chelsea will look to successfully defend the FA Cup after earning the right to play Portsmouth or Tottenham in the final.

The Blues beat Aston Villa 3-0 in the semi-final at Wembley in April to book another date with destiny under the famous arch, against Avram Grant's Portsmouth.

Grant led Chelsea to two cup finals during his short spell in charge of the club, and though they were beaten on both occasions, Blues fans will look back with fond memories of stunning semi-final wins over Liverpool and Everton in the process.

The Israeli boss also rekindled Chelsea's title ambitions despite being in 8th place when he took over, leading them to massive victories over Arsenal and Manchester United, whilst thumping Manchester City 6-0 and Derby 6-1 en route to a dramatic last day in the title race.

And now Grant will prepare his cash-strapped and relegated Portsmouth side for arguably the biggest day in their recent history.

The match pairs together the two most recent winners of the competition, with Portsmouth beating Cardiff in 2008 and Chelsea earning cup glory in 2007 and 2009.
