Wrexham vs Sheffield United live stream: match preview

Football fans are frequently told that Hollywood could never script the FA Cup’s inherent magic. Patently, this is cliched nonsense – if Tinseltown can imagine dystopian worlds and fantasy adventures with four-headed demons then they can probably envisage a last-minute winner for a minnow at a giant – but Wrexham hosting Sheffield United on Sunday can at least claim to have a Hollywood tale by proxy thanks to the Red Dragons’ actor owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

The non-league side are the lowest-ranked team left in the FA Cup and face Championship promotion chasers the Blades in arguably the pick of the fourth round ties.

The world’s third oldest football club, Wrexham already had plenty of history before Deadpool star Reynolds and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia‘s McElhenney officially took over the Red Dragons in January 2021. The Hollywood duo have ploughed millions into the club and the local area, meeting King Charles in the process, and made documentary Welcome to Wrexham a streaming classic on Disney+.

Keeping faith with manager Phil Parkinson despite falling in the National League play-offs to Grimsby last season, the pair are now looking forward to their biggest single fixture since taking over after disposing of Coventry in a pulsating 4-3 win in the last round.

Top of the fifth tier thanks to top scorer Paul Mullin’s 27 goals in all competitions this season, they also count on Ben Tozer, who swapped League One Cheltenham for the fifth-tier Racecourse Ground 18 months ago, and his long throws to conjure the spirit of Mickey Thomas and the Arsenal-beating vintage of 1992.

Sheffield United’s principal priorities lie firmly in winning promotion from the Championship, currently sitting five points off top spot. But avoiding a banana skin against a team ranked 70 places below them in the football pyramid will also be at the forefront of Paul Heckingbottom’s mind.

The Blades are also in excellent form and have lost just once since mid-October and beat table-topping Burnley 5-2 just before the midseason break. Top scorer Iliman Ndiaye has continued his fine form since returning from impressing for Senegal at the World Cup, while wide man Jayden Bogle has also shone in recent weeks. That said, boss Heckingbottom could rest a few first teamers in this one.
