Is Chelsea vs Wrexham on TV? Date, stream, kick-off time as Blues start Enzo Maresca era with a pre-season clash in USA

CHELSEA fans will get to see a glimpse of what new boss Enzo Maresca has to offer as they face Wrexham in the opening fixture of their USA pre-season.

The Italian put pen to paper for a five-year deal at Stamford Bridge last month.

And after recently leading Leicester to Premier League promotion, Mauricio Pochettino‘s successor will be determined to prove to Blues fans why he has been given the job.

But the English giants go up against a Wrexham outfit who held Premier League outfit Bournemouth to a 1-1 draw on Sunday.

However, Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney saw their side humiliated by Chelsea when the teams met in a pre-season fixture last summer.
