How to watch Chelsea vs Port Vale: TV channel and live stream for FA Cup today

Cup tie: Liam Rosenior

Chelsea Football Newsletter

Chelsea face a tricky FA Cup tie today as they welcome Port Vale to Stamford Bridge on return from the international break.

This outing will be their first since mid-March, meaning some supporters may have forgotten the fact that the Blues are in the midst of a four-match losing run.

That streak includes both legs of their Champions League round of 16 loss to Paris Saint-Germain, and league defeats by Everton and Newcastle.

Liam Rosenior will hope to get back to winning ways as he faces the side sitting bottom of League One, who have won once in their last six and were held goalless four times in that run.

It is now eight years since Chelsea last won this tournament, and it now stands as their last chance of securing any silverware this season.

Fall victim to a giant-killing, though, and he will bring his side - and his position as its manager - under significant scrutiny.

TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on BBC One as well as TNT Sports 1. Coverage on the BBC starts at 5pm BST, while the TNT coverage begins at 4.30pm.
