Hollywood-backed Wrexham will be hunting another famous FA Cup upset when Nottingham Forest visit the Racecourse Ground on Friday evening.

The Red Dragons are in flying form, having won four on the bounce to rise to ninth in the Championship, and will relish the chance to take a shot at Premier League opposition.

Arsenal, West Ham and Ipswich are among the top-flight sides that Wrexham have downed in the FA Cup over the years – and Phil Parkinson will hope to add Nottingham Forest to that list on Friday.

The visitors may enjoy some respite from the Premier League relegation battle, having claimed a vital victory over West Ham on Tuesday to give them some much-needed breathing room above the bottom three.

Last year's semi-finalists have fond recent memories of the FA Cup but could be in for a test on Friday evening, with stormy conditions expected.
