Sheffield United and Wrexham faced each other in league competition last season for the first time since the 1982-83 campaign, rekindling a historic rivalry between the two clubs.

The fixtures marked a significant milestone, ending a four-decade gap since the sides last met in league play. Both clubs have traversed different paths through the English football pyramid during the intervening years.

The renewed encounters have added fresh sub-plots to a rivalry that dates back to their previous league meetings in the early 1980s.
