Get ready for a Deepdale rematch! Wrexham is heading back to Preston North End this Saturday for a Championship clash that promises fireworks. Remember that thrilling 3-2 Carabao Cup victory for the Dragons earlier this season? Kieffer Moore's late goal sealed the deal then, but this time, the stakes are even higher.
Preston Eye Play-Off Push
Preston are riding high after their own 3-2 comeback win against Sheffield Wednesday. They're hungry to keep the momentum going and solidify their position in the play-off race. Manager Paul Heckingbottom will have to reshuffle the deck slightly, with Jamal Lewis sidelined for a few weeks due to a hamstring injury. However, Harrison Armstrong and Andrija Vukcevic are back in contention, though Vukcevic is being eased back in carefully.
Wrexham's Dream Run Continues
Wrexham, after a shaky start to their Championship campaign, have found their rhythm. They're currently sitting comfortably in 10th place and are daring to dream of a play-off spot themselves! Their incredible rise, fueled by the backing of Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, plus the global fanbase generated by 'Welcome To Wrexham', is a story that's captured the world's imagination.
But it's not just about the Hollywood glamour. Phil Parkinson's squad has shown incredible perseverance and determination. A win this weekend could propel them into the top six, depending on other results. For Preston, a victory could see them climb as high as second place!
Key Players to Watch

- Wrexham: Kieffer Moore will be looking to repeat his heroics from the Carabao Cup tie.
