Wrexham are aiming to find a way to secure their first win of the Championship campaign at home when Birmingham City come to town on Friday night.

The Red Dragons are heading into the fixture in fine form, as they are unbeaten in their last four in all competitions, beating Norwich City and Reading before consecutive draws in the league against Derby County and Leicester City.

Their attention now turns to the ‘Hollywood Derby’, dubbed that due to the American celebrity status of the owners: the Welsh club are owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, while the Blues are co-owned by Tom Brady.

Wrexham team news ahead of the Birmingham City clash

Phil Parkinson may make a few changes for the clash with Birmingham following the draw with Leicester due to the sharp turnaround between the games and with there being a few injury concerns.

Josh Windass may be a concern for the upcoming fixture with the Blues after he took to social media to share an image of his foot following a hard challenge in midweek, with the likelihood being that he may be rested to recover.

Nathan Broadhead may come into the squad in his place because of his recent fine form in front of goal for the Red Dragons, helping to earn him a place in Craig Bellamy’s Wales squad.

Liberato Cacace is injured and continuing his recovery, and he will not be in contention to start against the Blues.

In more positive news, Ollie Rathbone is nearing a return to action after his injury layoff, with a place on the substitutes’ bench more likely than being placed immediately into the starting XI.

Wrexham vs Birmingham City head-to-head record

The Red Dragons have only ever beaten the Blues on two occasions, with Wrexham’s last league win against Birmingham coming 46 years ago.

Their only other victory came in an FA Cup fixture in February 1997, when they eliminated their English opponents 3-1.

Birmingham have won six of the 11 fixtures, with three of them ending in stalemates and the Welsh club winning on two occasions.

Parkinson will be desperate to improve this record, and he has the opportunity to do so starting this Friday night.
