How to watch the Championship match between Wrexham and Birmingham City, as well as kick-off time and team news.

Former Birmingham player and manager Steve Bruce has told GOAL that the Blues will not rush into a repeat of their Wayne Rooney mistake, with there no plans on the part of Tom Brady and the club’s board to seek another “name” in the dugout. Chris Davies remains at the St Andrew’s helm for now, with collective sights being locked on the Premier League.

Wrexham are set to continue their ambitious recruitment drive after agreeing a £2m fee with Manchester City for defender Issa Kabore. The move marks a significant permanent return for the right-back, who spent the previous campaign on loan at the Racecourse Ground as the club narrowly missed out on the Championship play-offs.
