Wrexham and Notts County meet in one of the biggest non-league football games in recent memory as the pair vie for an automatic promotion spot.

The two clubs are locked together on 100 points at the top of the National League, with only the champions earning immediate elevation to League Two.

The Welsh club, owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds – who is reported to be buying a house in Wrexham – and Rob McElhenney, have played one game fewer than their visitors and could take control of the title race with victory.

But Notts County will fancy their chances as they look to climb back into the Football League after dropping out for the first time in their 157-year history in 2019.

Here’s everything you need to know.
