Wrexham vs Chelsea: FA Cup fifth round preview

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson is used to big matches where there's more attention on who's in the directors' box than what's happening on the pitch, and the Red Dragons can be quite a force with the Racecourse crowd at their backs.

Chelsea represent a new kind of challenge for a new kind of Wrexham. After three successive promotions, Wrexham are clear underdogs more rarely these days but that's exactly what they are in this fifth round tie.

They've pulled off a similar upset before but make no mistake: a Wrexham win here would make one hell of a docu-series episode.

Chelsea are overwhelming favourites and Liam Rosenior won't let them take their eye off the ball. Expect his team to seek every minor advantage and look out for their huddle taking place over the centre spot at the start of each half.

He won't have picked this up from LinkedIn but the Blues boss will also be very aware that they're being cast as the Garkos Gorgons. Not wanting to be on the wrong side of someone else's story makes for an easy team talk.

It's been a decade since Chelsea progressed beyond the fifth round without making it to the last four. Since 2016, the west London side have played in four FA Cup finals, winning once.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Wrexham 1-3 Chelsea

Wrexham might well have it in them to grab the first goal but Chelsea have proven this week that they can overcome that kind of setback away from home.
