Barnsley boss Simon Davey is delighted with his side's FA Cup sixth round draw at home to holders Chelsea.

The Tykes gained ample reward for their 2-1 giantkilling of Liverpool at Anfield at the weekend, being handed an Oakwell date with another of the Premier League's powerhouses.

Davey told Sky Sports News: "I'm very pleased, it's fantastic to draw Chelsea at home. We wanted a home tie and to get Chelsea is brilliant.

"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."
