Chelsea heads to North Wales this evening, looking to keep their strong record against lower-division teams and secure a spot in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Under manager Liam Rosenior, the team is in better form following a solid 4–1 win at Aston Villa on Wednesday.
Rosenior’s squad has shown good attacking strength, set to face Wrexham, a team they haven’t competed against in 44 years. Chelsea has advanced in their last 24 FA Cup matches against lower-division clubs.
Chelsea team news
Liam Rosenior is managing a squad without six first-team players, but there’s good news on the attacking front. Pedro Neto returns after a domestic suspension and is expected to play. He aims to continue his strong cup performance, having scored four goals in just two FA Cup matches this season.
If Neto scores tonight, he will be the first Chelsea player since 2017 to score in the third, fourth, and fifth rounds of a single campaign. Romeo Lavia is also looking for his first start since November after appearing as a substitute twice.
Filip Jørgensen will likely start in goal, with Malo Gusto and Trevoh Chalobah in defense, filling in for the absent Levi Colwill. In midfield, Moisés Caicedo and Andrey Santos are expected to support Enzo Fernández, who will play in a more advanced role.
Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto will provide width, assisting Liam Delap in attack. Chelsea has won six of their last eight away games in Wales, including a recent 3-0 win at Cardiff.
Chelsea predicted lineup
Chelsea Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Jorgensen; Gusto, Chalobah, Sarr, Hato; Caicedo, Santos; Neto, Fernandez, Garnacho; Delap
