Wrexham vs Chelsea Predictions

Chelsea are enjoying good form and are also strong on the road, so I can’t see Wrexham holding them at bay. Chelsea will be focussing on picking up silverware while Wrexham’s focus is on getting promotion to the Premier League.

Head-to-Head

Chelsea have won both of their previous matches against Wrexham.

Wrexham Form

Wrexham are enjoying a good run of form, with their last five matches ending W-D-W-W-W.

Wrexham have scored 11 times in their last five games, so I’m backing them to score at home, but I’m still backing a Chelsea win as they are such a powerful unit.

They pulled off a hard-fought 1-0 win at home over a competitive Ipswich side in the FA Cup, drew 2-2 away to Bristol, before a dramatic 5-3 home win over third-placed Ipswich in the Championship and 2-1 win at home against Portsmouth.

Their last match was a 1-0 win on the road against Charlton.

Chelsea Form

Chelsea’s only loss in their last five games was a 2-1 away defeat to log-leaders Arsenal in their second-last match. Their last five results have been D-W-D-L-W.

Chelsea have had two draws in their last 14 matches - both at home - and have lost just three of those matches, with all three defeats coming against form team Arsenal.

They are good on the road, scoring 25 times in their last 10 matches, with six wins and one draw.

Wrexham vs Chelsea Team News & Squads

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson is positive about his side’s chances in their clash against Premier League giants Chelsea.

"Yeah, really special day for me and for the club. It's the magic of the FA Cup. Hopefully we can have another good evening here with the backing of our fans. We know anything's possible. Under no illusions, it's going to be a really tough game, but really looking forward to it," said Parkinson in a press conference leading up to the match.

"We go into this weekend with an everything to gain, nothing to lose mindset. We're also in a strong position in the league, and it is a great test for us against Chelsea, and that's what we're looking for, like the Forest game, how can we cope against Premiership quality players?

"You've got to go into every game believing. If not, we might as well not turn up. We've also got to go with an understanding of the underdog mentality and what boxes we've got to tick to make this evening as difficult as possible for Chelsea," added Parkinson.

Wrexham have Brunt, Cacace, James, O'Connor and Sheaf all on the treatment table. Chelsea will be without the services of Colwill, Essugo, Estêvão and Gittens out injured, while Mudryk will be unavailable through suspension.

Verdict

Wrexham v Chelsea

I am backing Chelsea to win, with Wrexham to score.
