A famous night for Wrexham
Becoming the first team to secure three consecutive promotions last season, Wrexham have embarked on an iconic fairytale since their Hollywood fairytale was completed back in February 2021, Wrexham have enjoyed a sensational rise to superstardom.
However, despite opening up the 2025/26 campaign in the midst of an extended wobble, Phil Parkinson’s men have come roaring back in a remarkable fashion.
Skyrocketing their way up the Championship standings and now sat within touching distance of the play-off places, Wrexham will be relishing a famous FA Cup showdown this weekend.
Securing an eye-catching 2-1 victory away at Derby last weekend, the former Bolton boss has seen his squad win all of their previous four consecutive Championship appearances by an aggregate score of 11-5.
With their purple patch underlined by a thrilling 5-3 victory against Sheffield United on Boxing Day, Parkinson’s high-flying squad will be confident of asking some serious questions.

A tricky FA Cup challenge for Forest
Mounting a stunning late comeback away at West Ham earlier in the week as they eventually left east London with what could prove to be a season-defining 2-1 victory, Nottingham Forest will be desperate to use that dramatic comeback as a platform to build on.
While Friday’s guests might currently hold a commanding seven-point buffer over the drop zone, Dyche’s side have shown some cause for concern on either side of opening the New Year.
Getting 2026 underway with a 3-1 drumming at the hands of a high-flying Aston Villa, the former Everton boss has seen his squad lose each of their other four Premier League appearances.
Recording just a single domestic clean sheet over the past five weeks, Nottingham Forest have also failed to register consecutive wins since the end of November.
Despite claiming a much-welcomed Premier League boost on Tuesday night, Dyche’s side will be more than aware that they face a potential FA Cup banana skin when they travel to the Racecourse Ground this weekend.

An enjoyable showdown in Wales
With all eyes falling on the Racecourse Ground on Friday night, neutrals will be hoping for a thrilling FA Cup battle.
With Nottingham Forest mustering just a single clean sheet from any of their previous eight appearances across all competitions, Dyche’s leaky defence will also meet a Wrexham squad who are riding a major wave of momentum.
Making a real statement on Boxing Day as they secured that thrilling 5-3 win against Sheffield United, Friday’s hosts have found a real clinical edge in the final third.
Along with signing off 2025 with a 2-1 win against fellow play-off dreamers Preston, it should also be highlighted that Wrexham have recorded 16 goals in their previous seven appearances at the Racecourse Ground.
Likewise, including a 2-2 stalemate against Watford on December 13th, Parkinson’s side have seen their last three matchups on home soil produce 15 goals at both ends of the pitch.
