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.

"This is the beautiful game.

"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.
