Wrexham vs Nottingham Forest live: Latest FA Cup team news and line-ups – UK Times

Wrexham vs Nottingham Forest is due to kick off at 7.30pm GMT on Friday 9 January at the Racecouse Ground in Wrexham.

Wrexham host Nottingham Forest in the FA Crup third round tonight as the Welsh side look to inflict defeat on their Premier League opponents.

The teams head into the match with contrasting fortunes as Wrexham have won each of their last four matches in the Championship which has propelled them up the table. They are now ninth in the second division but are only one point off the play-off spots and, more importantly, have built up a steam of momentum.

In contrast, Nottingham Forest have lost four of their last five top-flight fixtures and sit just one place above the relegation spots though they do have a seven point cushion to West Ham. However, Forest did defeat the Hammers 2-1 in their last outing which may give them the impetus to impress against the Dragons tonight.

The FA Cup will be neither side’s priority but it is a great opportunity for the home side to show what they can do on the pitch given their well documented desire to reach the Premier League.

Welcome to The Independent’s coverage of tonight’s FA Cup action as Wrexham host Nottingham Forest.

Kick off for this one is at 7.30pm so stick around as we build-up to tonight’s FA Cup clash.
