Starting XI
Substitutes
Manager
- J. Eustace
- P. Parkinson
John Eustace names his Derby County side with no confirmed injury or suspension news available at this stage, and full team news will be added closer to kick-off as the squad is finalised.
Phil Parkinson's Wrexham are similarly without confirmed absences in the current data, though updates on the away squad are expected to emerge in the build-up to the match.
Form
Derby County have taken just one point from their last four Championship matches, recording one win, one draw and three defeats across their past five games. Their most recent outing ended in a 1-1 draw with Burnley, following back-to-back losses to Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion. The Rams also suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to West Ham United during that sequence, conceding seven goals across those three losses alone. Their only bright spot was a 2-0 win at Portsmouth at the start of September.
Wraxham have fared considerably better, picking up two wins, two draws and one defeat from their last five Championship outings. Phil Parkinson's side beat Southampton 2-1 in their most recent fixture and claimed a 3-0 win at Millwall earlier in the run. The exception was a 6-0 loss to West Ham United, though they responded well with a draw against Burnley and a goalless stalemate at Swansea City.
Head-to-Head Record
The most recent meeting between these two sides ended in a 1-2 victory for Wrexham at Pride Park in January 2026, giving the Red Dragons bragging rights in the Championship fixture earlier this season. Before that, the sides drew 1-1 when Wrexham hosted Derby in September 2025. Across the three meetings in the dataset, Wrexham hold the edge with one win to Derby's one, and the most recent competitive encounter went in the away side's favour.
