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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2026\/02\/16\/wonderkid-charlie-holland-chelsea\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Wonderkids You Haven&#8217;t Heard of Yet: Charlie Holland (Chelsea)<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Liam Rosenior Press Conference Highlights<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"max-width: 300px\"><smartframe-embed class=\"smartframe_wp_element\" customer-id=\"1ffbae35d432d0d71911ca2a0b209fbb\" image-id=\"prsib4T50UVi\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 2700px; aspect-ratio: 2700\/1800;\" ><\/smartframe-embed><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Team News<\/h3>\n<p>Estevao is not ready for this one.
