Wrexham are set to face Norwich City this weekend in the Championship, with the Red Dragons looking to add a second victory of the season after collecting four points in their opening five games.

Phil Parkinson will look to leave nothing to chance as he aims to guide Wrexham to their first victory over Norwich City in 55 years.

This may see him scouting and addressing who the dangermen are in the Canaries side, with stats indicating that this is Josh Sargent.

Both Wrexham and Norwich will have also done their homework on the referee for the clash as they look to leave nothing to chance in securing the victory this weekend.

David Webb has never refereed Wrexham

Wrexham will be experiencing another first this season when they face Norwich City this weekend.

This season has been one of firsts and making history in the Championship this season after 43 years away from the second tier of English football.

Wrexham will now experience another piece of history this weekend when referee David Webb officiates the Red Dragons for the first time ever, according to Transfermarkt.

The referee has officiated over 500 games in the EFL and Premier League but yet has never taken charge of a match with Wrexham.

His first Wrexham game will be when they face Norwich City this weekend, and so Phil Parkinson will be hopeful the Red Dragons emerge with a 100% record while David Webb is officiating.

David Webb’s record in charge of Norwich City matches

While Webb has never taken charge of Wrexham across his career as a referee, he has officiated on many occasions for Norwich City.

Norwich may look at his record while in charge of their matches and believe it is a good appointment, as across his 11 games in the middle of Canaries fixtures, they have won on six occasions.

They have lost only three games while receiving a total of 12 yellow cards and one red card across Webb’s career refereeing Norwich City.
