Liam Rosenior is set to speak to the press ahead of his team’s game in the next round of the FA Cup. His Chelsea side will take on Hollywood story and EFL Championship play-off contenders Wrexham in a match that might be wrought with the magic of the cup. The Dragons may be in a lower-tier but continued investment from co-owner Ryan Reynolds has given them a solid base with Phil Parkinson making them a tough team to beat with their resilience and versatility within a 3-5-2 setup. They have some very physical attackers which has proven to be a weakness for the Blues this season.
