- P. Parkinson
- C. Davies
Wrexham host Birmingham City at SToK Cae Ras in the Championship, with both sides searching for their first win of the 2026-27 league season.
Phil Parkinson's side have drawn their opening two Championship fixtures, including a 1-1 result against Watford on August 22. The Red Dragons are yet to find top gear in the second tier, and the pressure to deliver a home win is growing.
Wrexham's ambitions this season are clear. The club's recruitment drive has been relentless, with a £2 million agreement with Manchester City for defender Issa Kabore among their latest moves, and reports of a club-record pursuit of Lyon playmaker Pavel Sulc underscoring the scale of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's project.
Birmingham arrive in North Wales carrying their own baggage. Chris Davies' side were beaten 6-1 by Brentford in the Carabao Cup on August 25, a result that will have done little to ease the scrutiny on the manager. The Blues board, led by NFL star Tom Brady, have indicated they will not rush into another managerial change, but the performances need to improve.
Birmingham drew 2-2 with Bristol City in their most recent Championship outing, a result that leaves them 14th in the table, one place below Wrexham. The gap between these two clubs' expectations and their early-season reality makes this a fixture with real edge.
