Having kicked off their North American tour with an impressive 1-1 draw with Premier League Bournemouth, expectations are high as Wrexham take on two-time Champions League winners Chelsea. With the mass hysteria Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney and the "Welcome to Wrexham" documentary have brought to the North Wales club, a bumper crowd is expected at California's Levi's Stadium.
Where Chelsea are concerned, today's game marks the first match in charge for new boss Enzo Maresca, who joined the Blues from Leicester City during the summer. With a traveling squad of over 30 players, Maresca may look to hand debuts to new signings such as Tosin Adarabioyo and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall when Chelsea take on Phil Parkinson's Red Dragons.
Will Wrexham prove themselves against another Premier League team or will Chelsea get the better of their League One opposition? Read on and we'll show you where to watch Wrexham vs Chelsea online.
