Wrexham’s next Championship opponent sees them travelling to the Midlands to face Leicester City on Tuesday night.
The Foxes secured a draw against West Brom on Friday night with a late Nat Phillips own goal, as he deflected Bobby De Cordova-Reid’s effort into his own net to share the points after Samuel Iling-Junior gave the Baggies a first-half lead over Leicester.
The Red Dragons will be determined to continue their good away form recently, as for only the third time ever, Wrexham have won consecutive away games in the second tier.
Phil Parkinson has been warned by his counterpart Marti Cifuentes about one strength in his side ahead of the match, as they look to make a swift return to the Premier League following their relegation last season.

Leicester City’s squad depth will be ‘important’ to securing victory over Wrexham
The Foxes secured a point at the Hawthorns on Friday night, and Cifuentes believes this will continue to be the case throughout the Championship campaign.
Speaking to Leicestershire Live, Cifuentes explained exactly how his quality squad will be used throughout their promotion-chasing campaign.
He said: “What I really value is the fact that players from the bench are adding positive things. It was good to see Victor (Kristiansen) coming back after a long absence. Everybody is having their moment and helping the team.
“I’m sure it will be the case on Tuesday. We have a quick turnaround; everybody needs to be ready, and the fact we have a strong squad will be very important during the season.”

Wrexham also have strength in-depth with their squad
Leicester’s squad is full of quality operators, as they were competing in the Premier League last season, demonstrating just how good their side is.
However, it must be remembered the investment that Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac made in this Wrexham squad this summer.
The Welsh club did make 13 summer signings, with Wrexham spending £33 million in the transfer market.
So, while Leicester have a strong squad with options from the bench, so too do Wrexham, which should make it an interesting fixture on Tuesday.
