Ipswich Town and Hull City sent clear Wrexham AFC warning | OneFootball

Phil Parkinson has fired a warning at his promotion-chasing rivals ahead of Wrexham's crunch clash with Hull City on Tuesday evening.

Wrexham will be looking to bounce back from their narrow FA Cup exit at the hands of Premier League giants, Chelsea, as they return to league action on Tuesday evening.

Phil Parkinson's side are set to take on fellow promotion-chasing side, Hull City, in what promises to be a hugely entertaining, and closely-fought battle between both teams.

Wrexham are currently sat sixth in the Championship table heading into this match, whilst Hull are just three points clear of them in fifth place.

There's little room for error for both teams, with the likes of Southampton and Derby being some of the teams hunting Wrexham and Hull down in the race for the play-offs.

Wrexham have been in good form lately, having won their last three league matches, with their 1-0 win against Charlton Athletic at The Valley being their most recent victory in late February.

Whereas Hull haven't been at their best lately, and head into their clash with Wrexham off the back of two defeats against Ipswich Town and Millwall, which will make for concerning viewing for the club's supporters at such a crucial stage of this year's league campaign.

Parkinson highlights importance of Hull clash

Speaking in a recent pre-match press conference, Wrexham boss, Phil Parkinson spoke out on the importance of the game against the Tigers, and labelled it as a 'really exciting night'.

Parkinson also praised Hull for the quality of Wrexham's opponents, as well as revealing what he's told his players ahead of the game.

"I said to the lads that this is our chance to reel a club back into the pack, if you like, and we're going to go all out to achieve that. It's a really exciting night for us, meeting a team up and around us, and similar to the Ipswich league game and the magnitude of that.

"We've got to look above us as well. That's the aim. We've got to get in that pack above us and this gives us an opportunity to do that. We've got to get a hold of the team looking over their shoulders. It's two good sides. Anyone who's up there at this stage of the season obviously deserves to be."

"We will be ready" - Wrexham boss fires Hull warning

Parkinson went on to state that he's keen to see the impact of the home crowd behind his side once again, in what he claimed as 'stage two' in an important week for the club.

"Hull are a team who've been in the Premier League. It's going to be an exciting night and at 7.45pm, we will be ready."

"It's a great game. Saturday was the start of a very important week for the football club and Tuesday is stage two, so let's see where it takes us.

"Hull give up chances but they do create. It's about us turning up and the crowd turning up again, but I'm sure they will."

A win for Wrexham would see them move ahead of Hull on goal difference in the second-tier standings, and if Parkinson's passionate message has got across to his players, then it's set to be an entertaining battle.
