Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has named his starting line-up for the FA Cup fifth round tie against Wrexham on the road.

The Blues returned to winning ways with a comfortable 4-1 win over Aston Villa in the Premier League in midweek. They will now aim to progress to the FA Cup quarter-final by beating Wrexham.

Ahead of the game, Rosenior has made nine changes from the Villa trip.

Formation: 3-4-3

Robert Sanchez returns in goal for the Blues after being dropped to the bench for the victory at Villa Park.

There is a new-look defence. Mamadou Sarr, Tosin Adarabioyo and Benoit Badiashile are poised to start in a back three.

Josh Acheampong and Jorrel Hato will operate as wing-backs with Andrey Santos and Romeo Lavia in central midfield.

In the final third, Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho will operate on either side of Liam Delap, who will lead the line.

Confirmed Chelsea line-up (3-4-3) vs Wrexham: Sanchez; Sarr, Tosin, Badiashile; Acheampong, Santos, Lavia, Hato; Neto, Delap, Garnacho.
