2026 - 64: The FA Cup Fifth Round: Wrexham v Chelsea

Mark Chapman presents all the action from the fifth-round tie at StoK Racecourse. Wrexham have progressed from the National League to fighting for promotion to the Premier League since being taken over by Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds in 2020, and they have already defeated one top flight team here in this cup run, overcoming Nottingham Forest on penalties in round three. However, Chelsea represent an even tougher test, and they showed no mercy away to Championship opposition in the previous two rounds, defeating both Charlton Athletic and Hull City by four-goal margins. With analysis from Wayne Rooney, Micah Richards and Ben Tozer, and reports from Sarah Mulkerrins.
