After suffering heartbreak at Wembley against Liverpool at the weekend, Chelsea are quickly back in cup action today, as they host Leeds at Stamford Bridge in this FA Cup fifth-round tie.
Chelsea crashed to a 1-0 defeat in extra time to an inexperienced Liverpool side in Sunday's Carabao Cup. With the pressure now mounting on Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino, a defeat to lower league opposition in this game seems unthinkable for the hosts.
Championship side Leeds are on a run of six straight wins across all competitions, with Daniel Farke's men looking on track for automatic promotion back to the English Premier League and will be determined to cause an upset here.
This tie reignites a bitter rivalry that has endured since the 1960s, in large part due to the 1970 FA Cup final replay between these two sides, which has been infamously branded "the most brutal game" in English football history.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live, wherever you are in the world.
Having been a substitute in Chelsea's Carabao Cup final defeat to Liverpool on Sunday, forward Christopher Nkunku looks likely to start for the Blues as boss Mauricio Pochettino rotates his side.

How to watch the Chelsea vs. Leeds game online from anywhere using a VPNIf you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
