They last lifted the trophy in 1925. Oli Norwood quickly restored parity for the favourites, but when Paul Mullin netted his seventh FA Cup goal this term with only minutes left, Wrexham looked to have secured a major upset. The image has Oli McBurnie as United's FA Cup top scorer, but in truth he shares that honour with four other players. Daniel Jebbison and Jayden Bogle got the goals for Paul Heckingbottom's men, who sit second in the Championship. However, the Red Dragons have two games in hand - so they're very well placed to seal a return to league football without the need to go through the playoffs.

Paul Mullin’s seven FA Cup goals this season make him not only Wrexham’s top scorer, but also the competition’s leading marksman full stop. Oli McBurnie gave Sheffield United an early lead in Wales, but James Jones and Thomas O’Connor turned the scoreboard on its head shortly after half time. Sheffield United are unbeaten in 11 games in all competitions, having last suffered defeat in early November. Two of those clashes were won by the hosts, with the other drawn. If you don’t include defeats on penalties, Wrexham haven’t lost in any of their last 24 games. The teams have met three times before in Yorkshire - twice in league football, once in the League Cup.
