Are Wrexham about to repeat history in the FA Cup? 👀
Jan 09 2026 21:16 · By onefootball.com · 54 Reads
Wrexham are architects of some of the FA Cup's most memorable giant killings.
The Championship newcomers famously claimed a series of top flight scalps with West Ham, Newcastle United and, most memorably, Arsenal all succumbing to them.
History could be about to repeat itself again for Phil Parkinson's side as they host another high-flying opponent in Nottingham Forest in Friday's third round encounter.
The Red Dragons raced into a two-goal lead courtesy of Liberato Cacace and Ollie Rathbone both finding the target just three minutes apart in the first half.
It's a storyline that Hollywood star and Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds, who is in the stands for the encounter at the Racecourse Ground, could only have dreamed up.
Can they hold on to add another Premier League victim to their list?
