Preston team news

Preston come into the match in solid form, picking up seven points from their opening three Championship fixtures and most recently securing a gritty 1-0 home win over Ipswich Town. Their defense has been determined but inconsistent, and manager Paul Heckingbottom may rotate after a busy start to the season, but the core squad remains healthy.

The only significant absences are Emil Riis and Patrick Bauer, who departed in the summer, leaving depth a minor concern. Recent lineups feature a settled midfield and attacking trio, with no fresh major injuries reported. Expect the hosts to stick largely with their preferred shape, seeking to control possession and dictate play.

Wrexham team news

Wrexham are playing in the Championship for the first time in over 40 years, having earned promotion last season. They’ve experimented with lineups in their opening league matches, with new signings Danny Ward, Conor Coady, and Jay Rodriguez all bedding in, and Josh Windass immediately contributing with a goal on debut.

The squad is fully fit, with no injuries or suspensions reported, and has impressive depth in the squad.
