Wrexham vs Ipswich: FA Cup preview

Wrexham's penalty-shootout win against Nottingham Forest in the third round was in part down to the heroics of goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo.

With the game finishing 3-3 after 120 minutes, the 23-year-old shot-stopper saved spot-kicks from Igor Jesus and Omari Hutchinson as Phil Parkinson's side won 4-3 in the shootout.

Hoping for a repeat this time around, Wrexham are going well in the Championship after promotion from League One last season.

Currently occupying the final play-off spot, they have amassed 47 points from 31 games and would be the very first English side to achieve four successive promotions, should they reach the Premier League this term.

Ipswich Town beat Blackpool 2-1 to book their spot in the fourth round, with Kieran McKenna's men also fighting hard at the top of the Championship at present.

The Tractor Boys are 3rd in the table, only behind Coventry City and Middlesbrough, with a healthy 54 points from 30 games played.

Eyeing an immediate return to the Premier League, McKenna has done a good job to steady the ship, especially given how poorly Southampton and Leicester City have done in comparison.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Wrexham 2-1 Ipswich

The two sides drew 0-0 in the Championship back in November, but with a big home crowd expected, we are backing the Red Dragons to emerge victorious.
