Wrexham AFC, a team from the fifth tier of English soccer, is going up against Sheffield United, a team of the second tier, in a fourth round FA Cup replay on Tuesday at 7.45pm EST. Owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Wrexham is gaining increasing publicity and is the lowest ranked team left in the draw, the only club from outside English soccer’s top four leagues.
The teams played to an exciting draw in the first match with the score 3-3. Wrexham newly signed Eoghan O'Connell scoring a late winner against Altrincham on Saturday, giving the Dragons a bit of momentum going into the midweek match. Manager Phil Parkinson believes the passion of their fan base, with nearly 5,000 making the trip to South Yorkshire, will be key and that his side responded well to conceding a goal
