Wrexham and Wigan Athletic will clash in a League One meeting at the Racecourse Ground on Sunday.
Wrexham are aiming to extend their staggering home record when they line out in Wales this weekend.
The Red Dragons have not lost at the Racecourse Ground in 19 meetings, last tasting defeat all the way back in March 2024.
However, Phil Parkinson’s side have still dropped a few points when at home in the 2024/25 League One campaign.
Recently, they were held to a 2-2 draw by relegation-threatened Cambridge United, which was followed by another stalemate, this time on the road, against Bristol Rovers.
However, Wrexham beat Blackpool 2-1 last time out and should be favourites for the meeting with 14th-place Wigan Athletic.
Here’s everything you need to know about Wrexham ahead of their clash with Wigan on December 29th.

Wrexham team and injury news vs Wigan
The main and latest injury concern for Parkinson going into Sunday is Elliot Lee.
After opening the scoring by getting on the end of an excellent pass from Matty James, Lee was injured vs Bristol Rovers.
The 30-year-old went on to sit out the victory over Blackpool on Boxing Day with a hamstring problem.
However, it looks as though the midfielder could make his return against Wigan, with Steve Parkin offering a positive Lee injury update recently.
Elsewhere, there are no fresh injury woes for the club to contend with but Arthur Okonkwo, Callum Burton, Jack Marriott and James Jones are all expected to miss the clash with the Latics.

Wrexham predicted lineup vs Wigan
Despite Lee potentially being available to start on Sunday, we think Paul Mullin will keep his place in the eleven against Wigan.
Mullin earned praise from Wrexham fans after finally ending his goal drought on Boxing Day and dropping him just as he seems to be finally finding form could deal his confidence a big blow.
Elsewhere, the only other change to the team that lined out earlier this week we are expecting comes in midfield.
George Dobson has been ‘sublime’ for Wrexham this season and after starting on the bench versus Cambridge and Bristol, he should come back in for Andy Cannon.
Cannon was anonymous vs Blackpool with it obvious Dobson has had a much better 2024/25 so far.
Here’s how we think Wrexham will line up against Wigan on Sunday…
Mark Howard (GK)
Max Cleworth, Eoghan O’Connell, Lewis Brunt
Ryan Barnett, Matty James, George Dobson, Ollie Rathbone, James McClean
Paul Mullin, Ollie Palmer
