How to watch Chelsea v Crystal Palace FA Cup semi-final: TV channel, kick-off time and live stream

Chelsea will be hoping to avenge their most recent Wembley trip as they travel to the national stadium to take on Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-final.

The Blues fell at the final hurdle in the Carabao Cup final on penalties back in February, with 'keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga missing the final penalty to see his side lose 11-10 after extra-time.

And the FA Cup could be Chelsea's only realistic chance of silverware this year, following their exit from the Champions League on Tuesday evening.

Despite leading Real Madrid 3-0 at the Bernabéu, a goal from Rodrygo forced the game into extra-time, with Karim Benzema scoring his fourth goal of the tie to send Los Blancos 5-4 winners on aggregate.

However, standing in their way of domestic cup glory are a Crystal Palace side buoyed by the Patrick Vieira revolution, and hoping to reach the final of the competition for the first time since their extra-time defeat to Manchester United back in 2016.

Following their 4-0 demolition of Everton in the quarter-finals, the Eagles will provide a stern test for Tuchel's side, but with no win in their last nine against the current European Champions, could history continue to repeat itself for Palace?

A bitter blow for the Eagles prior to kick-off will see on-loan Chelsea star Conor Gallagher forced to watch from the touchline, with his contract prohibiting the 22-year-old from playing against his parent club. With that in mind, here is everything you need to know ahead of the match under the Wembley arch this weekend.
