Wolves’ young side will certainly be up against the odds for this tie. Wrexham won this very competition back in 2013.

Wrexham Preview

Wrexham Predicted Line-up: Arthur Okonkwo; James McClean, Thomas O'Connor, Dan Scarr, Eoghan O'Connell, Ryan Barnett; Elliot Lee, George Dobson, Andy Cannon; Jack Marriott, Ollie Palmer.

Wrexham got back to winning ways in their last fixture (4-1) whilst at home to Northampton Town. They’ve done extremely well to start the season, as they currently sit in second with 20 points, just two behind Birmingham City in first.

Prior to the Northampton Town win, Stevenage shocked the league by becoming the first third tier side to beat Wrexham aside from Birmingham this season.

Last time out in the EFL trophy, Wrexham defeated Salford City 2-1.

A current standout player for them has to be James McClean. The captain scored two and assisted once in their win on the weekend. For the third tier, he’s one of the best when it comes to quality and arguably the best left-wing back in the whole division. Both on and off the ball the 35-year-old is a constant threat.

This young Wolves side did well on the weekend to defeat Everton 4-2 in Premier League 2. They’re currently 16th in the league with two wins, one draw and three defeats.
