Wrexham vs Birmingham City: Preview
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson will have grown used to welcoming A-list celebrities to the Racecourse Ground, so the experienced boss will be fully focused on getting his side’s season up and running against Birmingham City.
The Red Dragons were seconds away from winning at Cardiff City on the opening weekend, only to concede a last-gasp equaliser, before they were held to a second successive 1-1 draw by Watford, with Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney watching on.
Since then, Parkinson’s squad has been bolstered by the signings of Angers left-back Jacques Ekomie and right wing-back Issa Kabore from Manchester City, with the latter returning to Wrexham after making 32 appearances on loan last term.
It remains to be seen whether they go straight into the squad to face Birmingham, while doubts remain over the fitness of Ben Sheaf and Liberato Cacace, but influential forward Josh Windass is expected to return from injury.

While Wrexham conceded at the death in their opening game, Birmingham were on the right side of last-minute drama in their 2-2 draw with Bristol City last Saturday.
Demarai Gray’s penalty five minutes into stoppage time salvaged a point for Chris Davies’ side, who were held 0-0 by Sheffield United on the opening weekend.
Birmingham were then thrashed 6-1 at home by Premier League Brentford in the Carabao Cup second round on Tuesday, although the fact that Davies made seven changes suggests that the competition was low on his list of priorities.
He will be without injured midfielder Max Bird for the trip to North Wales, where Gray could be pushing to start after scoring in each of the past two games.
FourFourTwo’s prediction
Wrexham 1-1 Birmingham City
Draws have been the name of the game for both sides so far this season and it could lead to another cagey contest here.
