Wrexham's journey to the Premier League hit a stumbling block with a 3-1 defeat by Coventry in the Championship on Sunday. The Welsh club, partially owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, now faces an uphill battle.

Sunday's result leaves Wrexham in sixth place, clinging to the fourth and final playoff spot by just one goal against seventh-place Hull. Derby lurks a point and a place behind, all gunning for the coveted final playoff berth.

The decisive last round next Saturday sees Wrexham hosting Middlesbrough, aiming for a Premier League spot themselves. It's a test of mettle for a club dreaming of top-flight soccer for the first time in 161 years.
