Chelsea vs Manchester United live stream, BBC, 6pm BST

The FA Cup continues tonight, with Manchester United and Chelsea meeting in a replay of the 2018 final. 

United are yet to get their hands on any silverware since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho in December 2018, but are finally beginning to click following the signing of Bruno Fernandes and the return of Paul Pogba from injury. The FA Cup is the Red Devils' best shot at a trophy this campaign and you can bet they'll be taking this opportunity very seriously. 

Chelsea meanwhile are in peril of not getting top four in the league. While it's been a good season - and one in which little was expected of a young side still in transition - the FA Cup offers a chance for Frank Lampard to prove his tenure is on the right track with a trophy.

Kick-off is at 6pm BST and the game is being shown on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK. See below for watching details where you are.

Use a VPN to watch a Chelsea vs Manchester United live stream from outside your country

If you’re abroad for the game, your domestic on-demand services won’t work because the broadcaster knows your location based on your IP address. Your access to the game will be automatically blocked, which is annoying if you’ve paid a subscription fee and don't want to resort to illegal streams which buffer every five seconds. 

Don’t worry, though. All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to circumvent such annoyances, assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, of course. A VPN creates a private connection between whatever device you’re using and the internet, meaning your suppliers’ service can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.

There are plenty of options out there, including:
