We have been drawn to play away against Watford in the FA Cup fifth round.
The game reunites our former reserve team manager Brendan Rodgers with the Blues - he left for the managerial post at Vicarage Road in November.
The game will be played on the weekend of 14/15 February.
We met the Hornets at the third round stage in 2004, winning 4-0 at Stamford Bridge after a replay. We were eliminated by Watford at the fourth round stage in 1987, and were 5-1 winners in the semi-final en route to winning the competition back in 1970.
The full fifth round draw is:
Sheffield United v Hull City
Watford v Chelsea
West Ham v Middlesbrough
Sunderland or Blackburn v Coventry City
Derby County or Nottingham Forest v Manchester United
Swansea City v Fulham
Liverpool or Everton v Doncaster or Aston Villa
Cardiff City or Arsenal v West Brom or Burnley
