Pompey bag Baggies

Premier League Portsmouth will take on Championship promotion contenders West Brom in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

Pompey are the only top flight side left in the competition after a weekend of shocks in the quarter-finals.

Barnsley, conquerors of Liverpool and Chelsea in the past two rounds, take on fellow Championship outfit Cardiff.

Both matches will take place at Wembley on the weekend of April 5 and 6.

Portsmouth, who have won the FA Cup once in their history, in 1939, were made favourites for the competition after surprising Premier League champions Manchester United on Saturday.

The Baggies have won the cup five times but not since 1968.

Barnsley, who are struggling in the bottom half of the Championship, are making their first appearance in the last four since 1912.

Welsh side Cardiff, for whom the cup run is a welcome distraction from financial problems, won the cup in 1927.

The semi-final line-up ensures a first winner from outside the game's current 'big four' of Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea since 1995.
