'Lot of pride at stake' - Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson previews Newport County League Two clash as Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds prepare for another Welsh derby

League One

Stockport County

Wrexham

Welsh rivals <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/team/wrexham/206vnsjv8ho5kpf88y0u2gaic" target="_blank">Wrexham</a> and Newport met just four weeks ago when the side owned by <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rename-the-racecourse-ryan-reynolds-course-wrexham-backed-ride-promotion-wave-reality-his-playing-field-levels-league-one/blt6de4637a4d48ce43" target="_blank">Ryan Reynolds</a> and Rob McElhenney triumphed 2-0 at the SToK Racecourse. On Saturday they'll meet in the reverse fixture, but Wrexham boss Parkinson has stressed the importance of playing the game rather than the occasion.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Ahead of the match Parkinson said (via <a href="https://www.leaderlive.co.uk/sport/24056090.wrexham-beat-rivals-newport-county-decembers-derby/" target="_blank">the Leader</a>): "It is a quick turnaround but we are really looking forward to another Welsh derby. It is one of the few grounds I have never been to before. There's a lot of pride at stake, we know that from the first game. There's that extra competitive edge because of the rivalry between the two clubs but it is just important we have a real focus about the game-plan we need to take with us down to Newport to keep our run going."

WHAT PARKINSON SAID

After returning to the Football League last year, Wrexham are now gunning for promotion to the third tier. The Red Dragons are currently second in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/league-two/bgen5kjer2ytfp7lo9949t72g" target="_blank">League Two</a> table, two points behind leaders Stockport County but with a game in-hand.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

After derby day, Parkinson and his players will look ahead to an <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/fa-cup/2hj3286pqov1g1g59k2t2qcgm" target="_blank">FA Cup</a> fourth round trip to Blackburn Rovers on Monday, January 29.
