Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson could stick with an unchanged starting lineup against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park following a 4-1 victory over Preston North End. Parkinson recently switched to a two-striker formation, which saw forwards Kieffer Moore and Sam Smith both score to guide the Reds back to winning ways in the Championship.

Midfielder Matty James returned to the starting XI last weekend after recovering from a back issue, while Ben Sheaf is back in full training and could feature among the substitutes. The predicted 3-4-1-2 formation features Patterson in goal, supported by a back three of Hyam, Worrall, and Doyle.
