Wrexham welcome Leicester City to the Racecourse Ground on Tuesday in a Championship clash shaped by mid-table congestion, with just eight points separating 14th-placed Birmingham City from the playoff pack.

With opportunity knocking loudly for both sides, they will each view this fixture as a chance to kick down the door and climb the table.

Match preview

Wrexham’s five-match winning run in all competitions came to an end last time out with a 2-1 defeat against Philippe Clement’s Norwich City.

Phil Parkinson’s side sit 10th in the Championship and remain firmly in the playoff hunt, trailing sixth-placed Preston North End by three points and fifth-placed Hull City by four.

The Hollywood-backed club have become the league’s draw specialists, with 10 of their matches ending all-square — the joint-most in the division.

Blockbuster entertainment has been guaranteed on home soil, with 46 goals already scored at the Racecourse this season, and Wrexham will take confidence from the 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture as they look to tip the balance this time.
