Wrexham must be on 'A-game' against Bristol City - Parkinson

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson says his side will need to bring their "A-game" if they are to get a result away at Bristol City on Tuesday evening (19:45 GMT).

Both sides begin the day narrowly outside the Championship's top six, and a win for either club would see them move into the play-off places.

Wrexham are chasing a fifth consecutive away win for the first time since 2003, when they achieved the feat in the fourth tier of English football.

And with hopes of a fourth-consecutive promotion in the balance, Parkinson recognised the challenge awaiting them - both on Tuesday evening and the rest of the season.

"It's where you are at the end of the season that counts," said Parkinson.

"They're in the mix, so are we. It is a game against another team who have been up there for a while.

"Every game has got an edge to it because there are so many teams in contention, the whole division has a lot to play for.

"It's a great challenge going to these established teams, but we're concentrating on ourselves and how we keep improving."

Wrexham are looking to complete the double over the Robins having run out 2-0 winners in the reverse fixture at the Stok Cae Ras in November.

A win would see Parkinson's side climb above Derby and Preston into sixth place on 50 points.

But the Wrexham boss says that will only happen if they are at their best at Ashton Gate.

"They've got a lot of players who have been at this level a long time and experienced being in the top six," Parkinson added.

"On their day they are very good, but we are a match for anyone. It's the details which will separate the sides on the night.

"We need to go down there and bring our A-game. Nothing less than that will be good enough."
