Premiership strugglers Middlesbrough already face a difficult third round replay at Hull and face the prospect of a visit to either Bristol City or Coventry if the negotiate their way into the next round.

Speaking about the Nottingham Forest tie, Reds manager Colin Calderwood said the prospect of playing the champions was "mouth-watering".

"I know I said on Saturday after the game that I wanted Tottenham but after that I was looking for Chelsea, Manchester United or Arsenal," he told Forest's website.

"It's a fantastic draw for us. The fact that it's an away draw and we're going to Stamford Bridge really whets the appetite because it's a chance for us to enjoy a touch of glamour.

"I don't mind admitting I cheered when I heard the draw, and there's no denying the thought of playing Chelsea is a mouth-watering prospect."
