Check out how to watch Chelsea v Preston in the FA Cup, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
Chelsea will hope to continue their recent revival when they host Championship side Preston North End in the FA Cup third round on Saturday afternoon.
The Blues have taken plenty of flak as they’ve struggled for consistency since the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino in the summer but four wins from their last five games will give the Stamford Bridge faithful hope that they’re turning a corner.
Bar the penalty shoot-out win against Newcastle, all their recent victories have come in games that the West Londoners were expected to win and the pressure will be on them to progress when North End visit this weekend. Even so, we can expect to see Pochettino name a weakened side as they have a Carabao Cup semi-final against Middlesbrough on Tuesday night.
Saturday’s visitors were among the sides in the race for the Championship play-offs earlier in the season but have dropped down into mid-table as a result of a run of just one win in their last four matches and only two in their last 10.
North End will be hoping to draw on the magic of the cup as they’ve never beaten Chelsea in the competition and have only won once against them since 1958.
