Moreover, the bigger question is, can Wrexham really show their competitiveness against Chelsea?

Can Ryan Reynolds’ side outshine the Premier League side?

The new season of soccer is witnessing a massive turnover among domestic sides. Subsequently, Chelsea also made a host of changes within their squad. From a massive clearout of players to getting themselves a new manager, the Blues are glimmering with optimism. Certainly, they are not in for a joke as they look to send their rivals a clear message.

Speaking of Phil Parkinson’s side, they are also in no mood for a mediocre clash. The Reds are keen to show they are worthy enough to play in the Premier League one day. Hence, this is a major opportunity for them to prove themselves in the soccer world. Likewise, following Chelsea, the fixture against Manchester United also holds much significance for them. It remains to be seen what they conjure up against both English sides.
