Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benítez edges towards League Cup final following drubbing of Leeds United "I thought the performance was fantastic, not just the second half but the first half as well," said Benitez. You can see that in every game the team is a little bit stronger. Chelsea, managed by Roberto Di Matteo at the time, drew 1-1 with Swansea in their Premier League game at the Liberty Stadium in November, with Pablo Hernández grabbing a late equaliser for Michael Laudrup's side. The other semi-final sees League Two side Bradford, who knocked out Arsenal in the quarter-finals, take on Aston Villa. Bradford goalkeeper Matt Duke said: "It's a massive club and it's a great draw again. Villa will be favourites but it's great publicity for the club and hopefully we can give the fans two great nights. The first legs take place in the week commencing January 7, with the returns two weeks later.
