A blockbuster FA Cup tie awaits at the Racecourse Ground as the EFL Championship’s Wrexham take on English Premier League side Chelsea.

Wrexham are now a household name across the world because of their off-the-pitch activities, though they have a chance to make history on Saturday night, when they host Chelsea.

Since Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds signed on as co-owner, they have propelled themselves from England’s fifth tier to now threatening promotion to the Premier League.

A place in the quarter-finals of the competition is now at stake, after manager Phil Parkinson’s side defeated Nottingham Forest and Ipswich in the previous rounds of the competition.

Chelsea will travel to Wales hoping to secure their place in the last eight of the competition for the second time since they were beaten finalists in 2022.

Manager Liam Roseinor’s side hammered Aston Villa in a crucial Premier League game during the week, a match that has huge implications on the race for Champions League football.

The Blues will return to FA Cup action having cruised past Charlton and Hull earlier this season.

What are the best bets for Wrexham vs Chelsea?

Chelsea to win, Both teams to score

Despite a very apparent gulf in quality between the two sides, I expect a very competitive affair.

Games like this are what football is all about, and a packed-out stadium filled with passionate home fans will ensure Wrexham put in a strong performance.

A busy run-up to the international break awaits Chelsea, so expect a rotated side to feature in this match.

The visitors should win the match on quality, but I don’t think it will be easy, and for that reason, I’m taking Chelsea to win and both teams to score.

This landed in Chelsea’s win over Charlton, and Wrexham found the net three times when they took Nottingham Forest to a penalty shootout.
