Wrexham return to League One action on Saturday afternoon against Rotherham United in a 3pm kick-off.
Wrexham beat Huddersfield Town earlier this week, cementing themselves a place in the play-offs and putting pressure on second-place Wycombe Wanderers.
The Red Dragons went into the weekend’s League One fixtures two points off automatic promotion but will need Peterborough United to see off Wycombe if they are to climb into second.
They must also get past Rotherham United, who have won their last two league matches but are 14th in the division.
Wrexham’s home form has been questionable recently, failing to win any of their last four at the Racecourse.
But they should, on paper, be favourites to see off Rotherham, whose manager, Steve Evans, has quite the history with Phil Parkinson.
Phil Parkinson and Steve Evans were managers in game with five red cards
Both Parkinson and Evans are very experienced managers with a long history in the dugout.
The duo have met several times throughout their careers, but one clash, which took place in 2012, was particularly explosive.
At the time, Wrexham’s boss was in charge of Bradford City, and Evans was in the Crawley Town dugout.
Crawley beat Braford 2-1 in a March 2012 meeting but their victory was marred by what took place after the full-time whistle.
As per The Gurdian, Bradford trio Andrew Davies, Luke Oliver and Jon McLaughlin, as well as Crawley pair Kyle McFadzean and Claude Davis, were sent off in the dressing rooms following a post-match brawl.
After the game, Parkinson commented: “The referee seems very clear in his mind what went on and that is the reason he took the action he did in the dressing rooms.
“Until I see the DVD it is difficult to comment but the sendings off leave us with lots of problems, to say the least.”
Whiel Evans stated: “I only saw the Bradford player Andrew Davies run towards my players and throw a punch. I think it was handbags with a lot of pushing and shoving but it was disappointing to see. If people have acted out of turn they need to be dealt with.”
What Rotherham United manager Steve Evans has said about Wrexham
Over a decade later, Parkinson and Evans will face off once more, with Wrexham looking to pick up their second win of the season over Rotherham following a 1-0 victory back in October.
Ahead of this weekend’s match, Evans commented on the Red Dragons’ recent rise and manager Parkinson, as per BBC Sport.
He said: “I don’t want to see them [Wrexham] fail.
“I think Phil Parkinson is a good guy and he can’t do any more than go and sign the boy [Sam] Smith, [Jay] Rodriguez and Ollie Rathbone from us.
“I would think their budget is way up there, £4m spent in the January window. That tells you the ambition that lies at Wrexham and it tells you a little bit about our challenge [on Saturday] too.”
