Watch Arsenal Vs. Chelsea Live Stream: International Champions Cup, Start Time, Watch Live Online

In a preview of what could be a key top four battle in the English Premier League, Arsenal and Chelsea shoot it out in Dublin on Wednesday in their final preseason International Champions Cup warm-up match before the two traditional England top-flight giants do battle for real on Matchday Two of the league season, less than three weeks away. But first, the clubs clash in a friendly that will live stream from what is expected to be a sold-out Aviva Stadium.

The lowest-priced ticket for the match, the first in Dublin for Chelsea in three decades, according to The Irish Times, has a face value of €60, or the equivalent of about $70 in United States currency, for what is literally a meaningless game.

But both sides are expected to field more of their top players than in any of their preseason matches to date, though Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, N’Golo Kante, Olivier Giroud, Gary Cahill, Michy Batshuayi, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Thibaut Courtois all remain on their post-World Cup holidays, according to Sky Sports.

Cesc Fabregas, Marco Alonso, Alexandre Lacazette, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should all see playing time, however. Stephan Lichtsteiner, Lucas Torreira, and Granit Xhaka are also expected to get on the pitch during the Dublin match, according to First Post.

To find out how to watch a live stream of Saturday’s Arsenal vs. Chelsea International Champions Cup match, see the streaming information at the bottom of this article. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. local time at 51,700-seat Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Republic of Ireland, on Wednesday, August 1. In the United States, that start time will be 3 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, and noon in the Pacific Time Zone.

In the United Kingdom, the game gets underway also at 8 p.m. British Summer Time on Wednesday.

The match does carry some intrigue, however, as it now appears that Chelsea is looking to poach one of Arsenal’s top stars, according to The Telegraph newspaper, 27-year-old Welsh midfielder Aaron Ramsey.

New Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri is reported to be readying a £30 million bid — about $40 million U.S. — to pry Ramsey away from the club’s London rivals, meaning that Wednesday’s International Champions Cup meeting could be Ramsey’s final game in an Arsenal shirt — and he could then face the Gunners in Premier League match on August 18.
