Chelsea head to the Racecourse Ground this evening knowing Wrexham will present a very different FA Cup test compared to their earlier opponents.
The Blues have already knocked out Charlton and Hull City from the Championship during this season’s competition.
However, Wrexham’s rapid rise and the atmosphere expected in North Wales mean this fifth-round tie could be their toughest cup assignment yet.
