Chelsea v Manchester City live stream: how to watch the FA Cup wherever you are in the world
Watch a Chelsea v Manchester City live stream, as the two Premier League giants fight for a place in the cup final
Chelsea v Manchester City live stream, BBC, Saturday 17 April, 5.30pm BST
Chelsea and Manchester City face off at Wembley on Saturday for a place in the FA Cup final, with both sides on a high from their midweek Champions League exploits.
The two Premier League clubs secured berths in the European semi-finals by beating Porto and Borussia Dortmund respectively, and for City a quadruple trophy success remains a realistic objective for the season.
Pep Guardiola’s side look to have the league title sewn up as they sit 11 points clear on top, but they would love to make it a domestic treble, as they have a League Cup final against Tottenham coming up next weekend.
Thomas Tuchel’s side won’t make it easy for them though, and have a point to prove after finishing as runners-up in last year’s FA Cup.

City were knocked out by eventual winners Arsenal at the semi-final stage last season, but won a league and cup double in 2018/19.
Tuchel has made a good impression at Stamford Bridge since replacing Frank Lampard in January, with the exception of a shock 5-2 defeat to West Brom at the start of April.
The German has steered the Blues to within a point of a top four berth in the league, and reaching a cup final and the promise of the club’s first trophy in three years would be another feather in his cap.
City suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Leeds last weekend in the league, but bounced back with a 2-1 win in Germany that sealed a 4-2 aggregate victory against Dortmund.
Chelsea are without the injured Mateo Kovacic, while City striker Sergio Aguero could miss out with a muscular issue.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST and the game is being shown on BBC One in the UK. See below for watching details where you are.

Use a VPN to watch a Chelsea v Manchester City live stream from outside your country
If you’re on holiday or just simply out of the country, your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows exactly where you are from 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 use an illegal, buffering stream that makes you miss another Jose Mourinho tantrum. And that's where we recommend ExpressVPN (more on which below).
All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get beyond such aggravations (assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs). A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning suppliers can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. The info going to and from is entirely encrypted.
There are plenty of options out there, including:
ExpressVPN including a 30-day, money-back guarantee
FourFourTwo’s brainy office mates TechRadar love its super speedy connections, trustworthy security and the fact it works with Android, Apple, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, PS4 and loads more. You also get a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support and it's currently available for a knockdown price. Go get it!
NordVPN with quality mobile and desktop apps
A cheaper option and almost ExpressVPN's equal when it comes to quality, too. A single subscription covers six connections, so you can use it on mobile, laptop, streaming devices and more, all at the same time.
Surfshark offers a great VPN at a fraction of the price
It's clear to see why Surfshark is top of TechRadar's best cheap VPN table – it combines an excellent product with bargain pricing, starting at £2/$2.50 a month!
