Watch Chelsea vs Port Vale live streams to see if the FA Cup can produce another huge shock as the League One side attempt to overcome the eight-time winners and continue their fairytale run in the world’s oldest cup competition.

Since needing extra time to secure a 4-2 win over Wrexham in the fifth round of the FA Cup, it’s been a tough run for Chelsea. They were put to the sword across two legs by Paris Saint-Germain, lost 1-0 to Newcastle and were thrashed 3-0 by Everton.

This poor run has led some to question the appointment of Liam Rosenior and the pressure would surely grow should they fall to Port Vale. On the other hand, the visit of a League One side should provide Chelsea with a chance to showcase their quality and Rosenior will likely put out a strong side as he chases his first piece of silverware as a manager.

For Port Vale, the FA Cup has provided a welcome distraction from a disastrous league campaign. Rooted to the bottom of the table, relegation seems inevitable as they are 14 points from safety with just 11 games remaining.

However, having eliminated Sunderland to reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 1954, they have shown they can raise their game against elite opposition. With nothing to lose, expect Jon Brady’s side to commit men forward and try to expose Chelsea’s defensive weaknesses.
