"It could be deemed as a distraction, but what an amazing distraction it is. You want to play against the best teams and the best players. It's what you work hard for, playing against Premier League teams in the FA Cup. Hopefully we can be there one day and be a Premier league team playing someone in the FA Cup too."
"Before the Forest game, the gaffer showed us a lot of clips on the history of Wrexham and some of the big games that happened here many years ago. Hopefully we can use that now, having beaten Forest as another example, so it's another opportunity to create our own history."
Wrexham captain Dominic Hyam describes the upcoming FA Cup fifth round tie against Chelsea as an amazing distraction from their Championship promotion push. The club has won three consecutive games to secure their top-six position while aiming for a fourth straight promotion season. Hyam, a summer signing from Blackburn who scored in the third round against Nottingham Forest, welcomes the chance to face Premier League opposition. He references Wrexham's historic 1992 FA Cup victory over Arsenal and their recent knockout of Forest, emphasizing the opportunity to create new history. The club aims to build on these achievements and potentially establish themselves as a Premier League team.
