Wrexham will welcome Chelsea to the Racecourse Ground for a glamorous FA Cup fifth round tie on Saturday evening.
Phil Parkinson's side have already caused an upset in this season's competition after claiming the scalp of Nottingham Forest in the third round, prevailing on penalties following a pulsating 3-3 draw.
The Red Dragons followed up on that success by claiming a narrow 1-0 win over Ipswich in the fourth round.
Wrexham are also ticking along nicely in the English Championship this season, having won each of their last three matches, which has them holding a spot in the top six.
As for Chelsea, they have already swatted aside Championship opposition in the previous rounds, having made light work of both Charlton and Hull as they continue their pursuit of what would be a ninth FA Cup crown and their first since 2018.
Last time out, Liam Rosenior claimed his most eye-catching result as Chelsea manager to date, with his side cruising to a 4-1 victory away at Aston Villa in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
How the bookies view it: Chelsea to march on
It’s no surprise that Chelsea go into this clash as strong odds-on favourites, priced at 2/5 with bet365.
Wrexham, meanwhile, are as big as 6/1 with bet365 to pull off a shock on Saturday evening, while a draw is also seen as unlikely at 4/1 with the same bookmaker.
Head to head: History book dormant
Wrexham and Chelsea have not crossed paths in any competition since February 1982, when the Welsh club secured a 1-0 league victory. That result is one of only two wins Wrexham have managed in nine encounters with Chelsea, alongside three draws and four defeats.
Players to watch: Delap to deliver?
After setting up three of Chelsea's four goals away at Hull in the previous round, Liam Delap looks a solid bet to either score or assist on Saturday evening, priced at 8/11 with bet365.
Josh Windass is a player who needs no invitation to try his luck in front of goal, making him an appealing option to hit the target at least once at 4/5 with bet365. It’s worth noting that Windass has registered a combined total of four on-target efforts across his previous two FA Cup outings this season.
Predicted line-ups
Wrexham may be without Ben Sheaf, Liberato Cacace and Matty James, whereas Lewis Brunt and Aaron James are definitely out injured.
With a massive Champions League round-of-16 first-leg trip to Paris Saint-Germain looming next week, Liam Rosenior is likely to shuffle his pack at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday evening. However, the Blues boss will still be without injured quartet Dario Essugo, Estevao, Jamie Gittens and Levi Colwill.
Wrexham: Okonkwo; Cleworth, Hyam, Doyle; Kabore, Dobson, O'Brien, Thomason; Rathbone, Windass; Moore
Chelsea: Sanchez; Tosin, Sarr, Badiashile, Cucurella; Lavia, Santos; Neto, Guiu, Garnacho, Delap
Anything else catch the eye?
While toppling Chelsea may prove a bridge too far for Wrexham on Saturday evening, they are more than capable of getting on the scoresheet.
That makes both teams to score worthy of consideration at a value 4/5 with bet365.
This selection would have paid out in 16 of Chelsea's last 20 matches across all competitions, including their FA Cup third round trip to Championship side Charlton.
