Phil Parkinson wants to draw on Wrexham’s FA Cup history as well as his own when the Red Dragons face Chelsea in the fifth round on Saturday.Mention the FA Cup in this part of Wales and sooner rather than later there will be talk of their shock 2-1 come-from-behind win over Arsenal in 1992 – when Fourth Division Wrexham stunned the Gunners with late goals from Mickey Thomas and Steve Watkin.This season they have already seen off one Premier League side, beating Nottingham Forest 4-3 on penalties in the third round after a 3-3 draw at home.

00:00I've got to ask you about 2015, the Bradford game when you beat Chelsea, I think you were top of
00:04the Premier League at the time with four goals to two.
00:07Do you draw that experience of that afternoon?
00:09Yeah, you know, I was thinking about it obviously this week leading into the game and the build-up to
00:15that and the preparations and the way the game, the principles we took into the game.
00:22And, you know, 2-0 down, playing well in the game but didn't let it knock us, you know, we
00:28kept believing and stuck to the game plan and got the goal back before half-time and, yeah, obviously it
00:35was a memorable second half.
00:37You've got to go into every game believing and if not, we might as well not turn up and, you
00:42know, we've got to go into it with a belief.
00:44We've also got to go into it with an understanding of the underdog mentality and what boxes we've got to
00:50tick to make this evening as difficult as possible for Chelsea.
