Wrexham are set to face Chelsea in their pre-season tour of the United States of America. Here is how they could line up.
Wrexham arent at the Racecourse anymore. The small club from a little Welsh village will be stepping out to a sold-out Kenan Stadium in New York City.
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney will finally be able to watch their beloved side on more, well, familiar territory for the Hollywood A-listers.
They’ll want to see Wrexham’s strongest side, which will be more than necessary with Chelsea set to prove a point to their new boss – Mauricio Pochettino.

Wrexham Predicted XI to face Chelsea
Phil Parkinson has fantastic news in the sense that in the opening game of the tour – he’ll have his full squad at his disposal.
This means we’ll likely see a full-strength side – given the sheer array of talent in the opposition’s ranks.
Ben Foster will most likely be in goal. He extended his contract with the club for another year which was music to the ears of fans across Wales.
In front of him, we think will be a solid backline of Will Boyle, Ben Tozer and Eoghan O’Connell as they adapt to their usual 3-5-2 formation.
A base in midfield will then be Andy Cannon and the captain – Luke Young, with Jacob Mendy and Ryan Barnett on the wings that transition into full-backs.
We then have the trio of dreams in Elliott Lee, Paul Mullin and Sam Dalby as a diamond up top. Come on Wrexham!
Predicted XI: Foster; Boyle, Tozer, O’Connell; Barnett, Young, Lee, Cannon, Mendy; Mullin, Dalby
