Blues keen on moving semi date

Chelsea are considering lobbying the Football Association to bring their FA Cup semi-final forward by 48 hours should they reach the Champions League semi-finals.

Roberto Di Matteo wants more time to prepare for what could be the first leg of a tie against Barcelona or AC Milan if they beat Benfica in the last eight.

Chelsea's FA Cup semi-final will take place on Sunday, April 15, just three days before a potential Champions League clash.
