Follow the live action as Brighton & Hove Albion take on Chelsea in the FA Cup today.
This season marks the 144th edition of the world’s oldest cup competition, with Manchester United the reigning champions after their victory over local rivals Manchester City in the final at Wembley.
While the usual suspects, such as Liverpool, Arsenal, and Tottenham, are likely to be in the running this season, it’s those teams without silverware in recent years who will hope to challenge for the later stages, like Newcastle United, Everton, and even Chelsea, who have been without a domestic trophy in over six years despite their European success.
Premier League clubs enter the competition from the third round, but every team, from non-league to EFL sides in the lower leagues, gets a shot at glory and the chance to face the country’s finest in the FA Cup.
