The much-publicized purchase of Wrexham AFC in 2020 by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney has set Phil Parkinson’s Red Dragons on the path to fame and fortune, with the hit series "Welcome to Wrexham" turning journeyman lower league footballers into genuine household names overnight.
As one of the founding members of the Football League, Blackburn Rovers have a bit of history themselves. The six-time FA Cup winners and former Premier League champions have been depleted by injuries this season, but will have their tails up for today’s clash with the League Two high-flyers thanks to the return of several key men.
This is the first competitive meeting between the two sides since the 1981/82 season, with both teams fancying their chances of advancing to the fifth round, and a £120,000 incentive sweetening the deal. The winning team will host Newcastle in the next round.
