  THE EXPLANATION

  Parkinson was given a yellow card against Newport County, as he raged against the referee's decision to show Will Boyle a straight red card. As a result, due to the accumulation of yellows throughout the season, he has been banned against Blackburn, according to BBC Sport Wales.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Wrexham's best FA Cup finish came in the 1996/97 season, when they reached the quarter-finals. They reached the fourth round last season, where they were beaten by Sheffield United, and will hope to progress to the fifth round at the expense of their Championship opponents on Monday evening.
