Is Chelsea's name already on the FA Cup?

Chelsea beat Stoke 2-0 yesterday to book their place in the FA Cup semi-finals.

Chelsea 2-0 Stoke: The Daily Mirror match report

Remarkably, it will be Chelsea's ninth FA Cup semi-final match in the past 17 seasons, and if they do win it this year it will be their fifth FA Cup triumph in 13 years.

With the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal already out of the competition, Carlo Ancelotti's men have a great chance to retain the trophy they won under Guus Hiddink last season.

But Chelsea are beatable, as Everton proved last month, and Aston Villa will surely fancy their chances against them, as would Tottenham, Fulham and perhaps even Portsmouth, should they get through to the final.

So what do you think? Is Chelsea's name already on the FA Cup?
