Half an hour gone and Wrexham defending well and pressing well.

Paul Mullin is so good at playing off the shoulder, he's scored a goal out of nothing.

The centre halves aren't sure where he is and he goes on to create his own opportunity and score a really good goal.

Almost a second for Wrexham!

Callum McFadzean fires low from the edge of the box but Nathan Sheron is on hand to clear the ball off the line.

Bit of a lull in proceedings as we approach the midway point of this first half.

Wrexham good value for their lead but Oldham certainly aren't sitting back.

From the corner that follows John Rooney's effort for Oldham, Wrexham comfortably deal with it.

In a crowded box, Wrexham keeper Mark Howard rises high to palm the ball away from danger.

At the other end, Oldham break following Wrexham's free kick.

Wrexham are basically a League One team, it's going to be a tough task for Oldham.

If Oldham can stay in it for the next 15 minutes, break the play up and slow it down, and even if it's 1-0 at half-time, that's not a bad place to be.

Jordan Clarke goes into the book for a foul on Callum McFadzean and Wrexham win a free-kick on the left-hand touchline.

A cynical tackle.

Oldham haven't sat back since conceding.

They break down the left against the run of play and Ben Tollitt sends a low cross into the Wrexham box which is claimed by Mark Howard.

It's through a load of bodies and the keeper sees it late. He just palms it three or four yards out and Sam Dalby taps it in.

Oldham are questioning offside but I'm not sure. I think Dalby has made a great run and gambles that the keeper is going to spill it and taps it in from one yard.

Paul Mullin receives the ball from Elliot Lee as Wrexham go on the attack.

He tries to curl it home from a tight angle inside the Oldham box but David Okagbue deflects it out for a corner which eventually comes to nothing.

Oldham are letting Wrexham's back three have the ball and keeping Wrexham play in front of them.

They are trying to not let Wrexham get in behind them or break the lines with any passes.

Great atmosphere brewing in the early stages of this FA Cup tie.

The two sides knocking the ball around well, with Wrexham seeing the first chance on goal as Sam Dalby's header is collected by Oldham goalkeeper Jayson Leutwiler.

We're under way at the Racecourse.

Sunday's FA Cup action begins.

Here's how Wrexham and Oldham line up today.

Wrexham last progressed past the first round stage of the FA Cup in 2018-19 when they were eventually defeated in a second round replay by Newport County.

Oldham last reached the second round two seasons ago, before they were knocked out by Bournemouth in the third round.

Look no further than Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds, who tweeted this video yesterday.

Fun fact, Reynolds is also a successful actor and according to Wikipedia, made an uncredited cameo in the recent Brad Pitt movie Bullet Train.

Following their relegation from the EFL last season, Oldham have begun to rebuild, with a new owner and a realistic outlook for the future.

Their ambitions have not been diminished, however, and a whopping 2,300 Latics fans travelled to see their 2-1 defeat by Halifax Town last Saturday.

But boss David Unsworth says that today's trip to Wrexham takes the pressure off somewhat, with the club currently hovering around the National League relegation places.

"We have a job to do in the league here this season. It's important we get to a level where we can start planning medium to long term and that's the priority," he told BBC Radio Manchester.

"This is a free hit for the players, this is an opportunity that doesn't come around very often, to play in a massive game on TV against a great opposition."
