Following their 0-0 draw a couple weeks ago, Aston Villa and Chelsea will meet in a replay of their fourth-round FA Cup tie at Villa Park on Wednesday. Villa are looking to get back to the Round of 16 for the first time since 2015, while Chelsea were last there two seasons ago when they made a third-consecutive trip to the final.
In the United States, the match starts at 3:00 p.m. ET. It won’t be on TV, but you can watch Aston Villa vs Chelsea live on ESPN+. That’s the only option in the US, but it’s a good one if you’re a soccer fan.
