Chelsea step up their preparations for the upcoming Premier League campaign when they face Hollywood-owned Wrexham in a pre-season friendly in California in the early hours of Thursday morning.

The match at Levi's Stadium - the home of NFL franchise the San Francisco 49ers - represents the first chance for new Blues boss Enzo Maresca to run the rule over his squad, and he could hand debuts to summer signings Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who he knows from former club Leicester City, and Tosin Adarabioyo.

Chelsea hit five goals without reply past Wrexham in a pre-season meeting between the two teams in the USA last summer, and Maresca will, no doubt, be hoping for a similar result to kick off his reign.

Wrexham, who are famously owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, should have the fitness edge after securing a 1-1 draw with Premier League side Bournemouth in their second pre-season fixture last weekend.

The Red Dragons are building towards their first campaign in the third tier of English football since 2004/05, after finishing second in League Two last season.
