"The Blues come into the game on the back of an excellent result in the Premier League, as they came from behind to win 4-1 at Aston Villa. But Liam Rosenior's side will be wary of Championship play-off chasers Wrexham, who are sixth in the second tier. The hosts will be desperate to take their fairytale rise under the ownership of Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, and have already knocked out Premier League Nottingham Forest en route to this stage."
"Robert Sanchez is back in goal for Chelsea after being dropped for the win over Villa, with Liam Rosenior making nine changes in total from that game. Alejandro Garnacho and Jorrel Hato are the only two players to retain their place. There is no place in the squad for Cole Palmer as Chelsea rotate with one eye on their Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain next week."
"Wrexham have lost one of their last nine matches in all competitions (W6 D2), winning each of the last three. Having won two home ties by knocking out Championship opposition, they now face a Premier League side in the fifth round."
Chelsea travels to Wrexham for an FA Cup fifth-round match after defeating Aston Villa 4-1 in the Premier League. Manager Liam Rosenior makes nine changes to the starting lineup, with only Alejandro Garnacho and Jorrel Hato retained from the Villa match. Robert Sanchez returns in goal, while key players like Cole Palmer and hat-trick hero Joao Pedro are rested ahead of Chelsea's Champions League fixture against Paris Saint-Germain. Wrexham, currently sixth in the Championship and chasing playoff promotion, presents a genuine threat after eliminating Premier League side Nottingham Forest. The Welsh club's recent form is strong, winning three consecutive matches and losing only once in their last nine games across all competitions.
