Davey: Plum tie is just reward February 18 2008
Barnsley manager Simon Davey believes facing Chelsea at home in the FA Cup quarter-finals is a "good reward" for beating Liverpool on Saturday.
The Tykes beat the Reds 2-1 courtesy of Brian Howard's injury-time strike in a surprise result at Anfield on Saturday and now take on the Blues at Oakwell after Avram Grant's side knocked out Huddersfield in the last 16.
"I'm very pleased, it's fantastic to draw Chelsea at home. We wanted a home tie and to get Chelsea is brilliant," Davey told Sky Sports News.
"In the last round against Liverpool 6,000 Barnsley fans came to Anfield - now we can fill our stadium against another fantastic, world-class team. It's a good reward for beating Liverpool in the last round.
"We played Blackpool, then Southend, then we were looking for a big club. To draw Liverpool at Anfield was fantastic for us. We won that, and now we have the chance to play against more world class players at home.
"We've got a fantastic home record at the moment and hopefully we can continue it and get into the semi-finals."
Davey is well aware of the big-name match-winners Chelsea possess: "I think there's a few - Frank Lampard, John Terry, Joe Cole, there are endless names from Chelsea that are going to give us nightmares.
"We've got to concentrate on the league now, but it's a fantastic draw for us and we can't wait for it. The players have got to relish it. I'm sure they will be capable of putting on a good performance, like they did at Anfield."
