"The takeover by Hollywood A-listers Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney has thrust Wrexham into the limelight - particularly in the United States - and helped drive a run through the leagues. Phil Parkinson's men sit in the Championship play-offs and remain in with a chance of a fourth successive promotion."
"Having won two home ties by knocking out Championship club Ipswich Town following a win over Premier League side Nottingham Forest on penalties, this is Wrexham's longest FA Cup run since they reached the 1996/97 quarter-finals. They have alternated between progressing and being eliminated from their last nine FA Cup ties against top-flight opponents."
"Chelsea continue to be inconsistent under Liam Rosenior but they enjoyed a fine 4-1 win at fellow Champions League hopefuls Aston Villa in midweek. Wrexham have lost one of their last nine matches in all competitions, winning each of the last three."
