Wrexham have been handed a fairytale tie at home to Chelsea in the FA Cup fifth round.

The Welsh side booked their place in this stage of the competition for the first time since 1997 after beating Ipswich 1-0 on Friday, which came after they shocked Nottingham Forest in the third round.

After the Ipswich win, Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson had expressed his hope for a home tie against Premier League opponents, and they will now welcome Liam Rosenior's side to the Racecourse Ground. 

Chelsea thrashed Rosenior's former club Hull City 4-0 in the fourth round on Friday night thanks to a Pedro Neto hat-trick. 

Elsewhere, Man City were pitted with a trip to Newcastle in a repeat of their Carabao Cup semi-final clash, while Liverpool will travel to Wolves.

Arsenal have been drawn away at League One Mansfield Town, with Nigel Clough's side having already beaten both Sheffield United and Burnley away from home in the competition this season.
