Wrexham and Chelsea haven’t met in any competition since February 1982 when the Welsh side won 1-0 in a league game, one of two wins Wrexham have registered in nine games against Chelsea (D3 L4).
Chelsea have faced Wrexham in one previous FA Cup tie, needing two replays in the 1981-82 fourth round to knock them out. The Blues have won six of their last eight away games in Wales in all competitions (D1 L1), including a 3-1 win at Cardiff in the League Cup this season.
For the first time since 1996-97, Wrexham are into the FA Cup fifth round. That season is one of three times the Red Dragons have progressed to the quarter-finals – beating Birmingham 3-1 – along with 1973-74 and 1977-78.
Chelsea have progressed from their last 24 FA Cup ties against sides from a lower division, since losing 4-2 to Bradford City in January 2015. Among top-flight teams, only Arsenal (28 from January 1998 to January 2013) and Man Utd (30 from January 1985 to February 2009) have had a longer run of eliminating lower league teams.
Wrexham’s Josh Windass has scored five goals in his last five FA Cup starts, including the winner for the Red Dragons in the fourth round this season. All six of his goals in the competition have been netted on home soil.
Pedro Neto has netted four goals in two FA Cup appearances this season, one against Charlton in the third round and a hat-trick against Hull in the fourth round. The last Blues player to score in the third, fourth and fifth rounds in a season was Pedro in 2016-17.
