Birmingham boss Chris Hughton admits he is excited at the prospect of facing Chelsea in the FA Cup fifth round.
The Blues negotiated their passage into the final 16 with a convincing 4-0 win at Sheffield United on Saturday and must go on the road again when they travel to Stamford Bridge to meet the Barclays Premier League giants.
Chelsea have won the competition in three of the past five seasons and Hughton is relishing the chance to pit his team against them.
He told Birmingham's official website: "It's a fabulous draw for us for lots of reasons. We can go there without the pressure of being the favourites to go through.
"I know we will take whatever capacity we can and it will be a good club day. It's one that has filled the club with excitement."
Meanwhile, the Blues have announced that due to their FA Cup clash, their npower Championship fixture at Leicester has been moved to Tuesday March 13 with a 7.45pm kick-off
