The National League leaders missed out on promotion last season but are targeting a cup run this year.

Wrexham beat Championship side Coventry in the third round of the FA Cup to set up their clash with Sheffield United.

Ahead of kick-off, Reynolds joined Match of the Day host Gary Lineker and pundit Shearer.

And he left the studio in stitches as he claimed it would take a miracle to beat his high-flying team.

Reynolds said: “I get nervous for a match like today.

“Sheffield United are three leagues above us, 70 teams above us. It’s a classic David vs Goliath.

“You guys know this more than anybody on Earth, this is football.

“And I’m going to go on record and say there’s a chance – albeit a slim chance – that Sheffield United pulls off a miracle today.”

A miracle did in fact happen at the Racecourse Ground.

Wrexham were minutes from booking their place in the fourth round of the cup with a 3-2 win over ten-men Sheffield United.

However, John Egan scored right at the death in the fifth minute of added time to send the game to a replay.
