Feb. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Chelsea will host London rival Tottenham in the quarterfinals of the F.A. Cup, the only English soccer trophy that Blues manager Jose Mourinho has failed to win.

Both clubs reached the last eight of soccer's oldest Cup competition with 4-0 wins. Chelsea, the two-time defending league champion, beat Norwich at home, while Tottenham downed Fulham away.

Chelsea is seeking four trophies this season to add to Mourinho's haul since he took over three years ago. Chelsea faces Arsenal in the League Cup final in six days, is six points behind leader Manchester United in the league, and meets Porto in the last 16 of the elite Champions League, which resumes this week.

Elsewhere in the Cup, Arsenal or Blackburn hosts Manchester City, Manchester United or Reading visits Middlesbrough or West Bromwich Albion, and Plymouth hosts Watford.

Matches take place March 10 and 11, with the final scheduled for May 19. According to media reports yesterday, the showpiece will probably be played at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium for the seventh straight time because the rebuilt Wembley Stadium in London won't be ready.

Spurs, knocked out of the League Cup semifinals by Arsenal, handed the Blues a 2-1 Premiership loss in November after falling behind. Their last F.A. Cup meeting was in 2002, a 4-0 win for Chelsea, and they met in the first all-London final in 1967, a 2-1 Tottenham victory.

Arsenal Replay

Arsenal, seeking a fourth title in six seasons, must get past Blackburn in a fifth-round replay Feb. 28. They tied 0-0 in London two days ago. City, which won the last of its four F.A. Cups in 1969, was eliminated in the quarterfinals last campaign.

Manchester United, the record 11-time champion, was held to a 1-1 tie by Reading at home two days ago. Their replay is on Feb. 27, the same day West Brom of the Championship hosts Middlesbrough. Boro has never won the F.A. Cup.

Plymouth, 11th in the Championship and the lowest club in the draw, hosts Watford, last in the Premiership. An Argyle win would match its best F.A. Cup showing in 1984, the year it got to the semifinal -- where it lost to Watford.

``To get a home tie for the people of this town is great,'' Plymouth manager Ian Holloway told Sky Sports. ``(Watford) never stop working their socks off and there's all sorts of desire and belief, but they've got a long journey -- let's see if we can make it uncomfortable for them.''

Chelsea was made the 7-4 favorite to win the competition by U.K. bookmaker Coral following the draw in London, with United the second favorite at 10-3 and Arsenal third at 4-1. West Brom is last at 80-1.

Chelsea and Manchester United will not meet in the FA Cup semi-finals, should the Premiership title rivals negotiate quarter-final replays.

In the draw for the semi-finals, Blackburn Rovers will meet either Chelsea or Tottenham Hotspur.

The second tie will see Premiership strugglers Watford tackle either The Red Devils or Middlesbrough.

Blackburn, semi-finalists two years ago, reached the last four this time around after a 2-0 home win over Manchester City in the quarter-finals.

Mark Hughes' side will await the winners of the 19th March replay between Chelsea and Spurs, who drew 3-3 in a thrilling game at Stamford Bridge.

Watford, runners-up to Everton in the 1984 FA Cup, advanced to the semi-finals after a scrappy 1-0 success at Championship club Plymouth Argyle.

The Hornets will face either Premiership leaders United, or Middlesbrough, who drew 2-2 at The Riverside and will meet again on 19th March.

Venues for the semi-finals will be decided at a later date, with ties taking place on the weekend of 14th/15th April.
