Preview

Cardiff responded well after their relegation to League One, keeping the core of their squad together and returning to the Championship with automatic promotion behind champions Lincoln. Brian Barry-Murphy has opted for another summer of continuity, bringing in just one new face.

Wrexham put up a noble fight in their first season in the Championship under Phil Parkinson, narrowly missing out on a play-off finish after hovering around the top six all year. With two extra play-off places up for grabs this season, the Red Dragons are well-placed to battle for promotion in their second season at the level.
