"Picking up a heavyweight FA Cup scalp earlier in the month as they edged past Premier League outfit Nottingham Forest, the Red Dragons have their sights firmly set on mounting another iconic promotion charge in 2026. Including a 2-1 win against Derby on January 4th, Wrexham have won each of their other five appearances across all competitions. Claiming a pulsating 5-3 victory against Sheffield United last month, Parkinson's play-off dreamers have also gained a reputation for their lively outcomes."
"As for the visitors, while Leicester might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign with their sights set on booking an immediate Premier League return, the Foxes have continued to show a string of worrying issues. Last seen over the weekend getting hit with a 2-1 loss away at Coventry, Marti Cifuentes finds the pressure on his shoulders at a boiling point. Getting the New Year underway with a nightmare 3-1 drumming at the hands of Sheffield United, the former QPR boss has seen his squad lose four of their previous six Championship showdowns."
Wrexham seek an immediate response after a 2-1 home defeat by Norwich and missed a chance to climb towards the play-off places. The Red Dragons beat Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup earlier in the month and have won five of their other six matches across all competitions, including a 2-1 victory over Derby and a 5-3 win against Sheffield United. Seven of Wrexham's last eight fixtures have seen both teams score. Leicester have endured a poor run, losing four of six Championship matches, including defeats by Sheffield United and Coventry, and have displayed worrying defensive frailties.
