The draw for last four of this season's FA Cup was made at Soho Square on Monday afternoon. 

Blackburn feel they would be worthy winners of The FA Cup sponsored by E.ON after the tough run they have had to this season's semi-final.

They will face either Tottenham or Chelsea in the last four having beaten Manchester City at home in the quarter-finals.

Before that tie, Blackburn had to overcome two other Premiership teams, having been drawn away at Everton and Arsenal, as well as Luton in the Fourth Round.

And chairman John Williams said: "We've had a hard run to the semi-finals with all the away games, and now we'd love to go one better.

"We're delighted to be in the draw and it should be an exciting day. We were willing to accept whichever ball was drawn out against us."

The two favourites, Manchester United and Chelsea, were kept apart in the semi-final draw, with Watford being drawn against the winners of United and Middlesbrough's quarter-final replay.

A peak audience on 8.45million tuned in to watch Middlesbrough's 2-2 draw with Manchester United on Saturday. Sunday saw a peak of 6.13million viewers for the 3-3 thriller at Stamford Bridge between Chelsea and Spurs and 5.13million seeing Watford edge out Plymouth Argyle the same evening.

Although a Manchester United v Chelsea final at the brand new Wembley stadium is still a strong possibility, Blackburn midfielder Robbie Savage said: "Everybody would like to see that final, but it's up to teams like ourselves and Watford to stop that from happening.

"We would have liked to have drawn Watford, and I'm sure they would have liked to have drawn us, but the lads were fantastic against Manchester City and we'll take whatever team we get."

Here is the line up;

1

Blackburn

v

Chelsea or Tottenham Hotspur

2

Watford

v

Middlesbrough or Manchester United
