Preview

Wrexham responded well after falling behind against Leicester on Tuesday night as Nathan Broadhead's 77th-minute strike proved enough to earn a point for the Red Dragons on the road. Phil Parkinson's men are now unbeaten in their last three Championship fixtures heading into gameweek nine.

Birmingham had Demarai Gray to thank in midweek as his 98th-minute goal rescued a point for the reigning League One champions against a threadbare Sheffield Wednesday side. Chris Davies' side have won just one of their last five Championship games ahead of Friday's trip to the Cae Ras.
