Capital One Cup draw: Villa to face Bradford, Chelsea paired with Swansea

The two-legged semi-finals will be played in January.

THE DRAW FOR the Capital One Cup semi-finals has taken place with Chelsea due to face Swansea and Aston Villa meeting Bradford.

The Pensioners, recently back from the Club World Cup finals where they lost out to Corinthians, put five past Leeds at Elland Road tonight after Luciano Becchio had given the Championship outfit a 1-0 lead in the first half.

They will now host Michael Laudrup’s Swansea at Stamford Bridge on the week beginning January 7 in the first of a two-legged affair before making the trip to Wales a fortnight later.

Villa, who overcame Norwich in the previous round, have been paired with Arsenal’s conquerors Bradford of League Two in the other semi-final.
