Wrexham hope to return to winning ways on Sunday when they travel to Harrogate Town for their opening match of the 2024/25 FA Cup.

Until recently the Red Dragons would have been considered the underdogs in the first round of the FA Cup, but the club’s recent rise under the management of wealthy Hollywood owners now positions the Welsh side as clear favourites.

Wrexham have been in strong form in League One this season with just two defeats so far and manager Phil Parkinson is eager to see his side carry that momentum forward in this campaign.

They followed their goalless draw with Huddersfield Town with a thrilling 2-2 draw against Charlton Athletic in their previous League One match, courtesy of Matt Godden’s last-minute penalty.

In stark contrast, Harrogate Town have struggled somewhat in League Two this season and currently sit 17th in the table. The away team could only win once in their last six matches, losing narrowly 1-0 to Notts County in their last League Two match.

Sports News looks at the key details ahead of this match, including how to watch the match, kick-off times and the latest squad news.
