Championship side Wrexham host Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup today, with both clubs looking to book a place in the last eight as they face off at the Racecourse Ground.
The Welsh side, who have found recent success after the involvement of Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, are looking for the biggest result since the takeover as they welcome the Blues, and are hoping to make the quarter-finals for just the third time in their history.
Meanwhile, Liam Rosenior’s side are hoping to make the last eight for the fifth time in seven seasons. While the Blues haven’t won the competition since 2018, they’ve been runners-up in three of the last six seasons.
But while Chelsea will likely regard the FA Cup as their best chance at a trophy this term, they won’t disregard the threat posed by Wrexham as the Championship outfit look to make more history.
