Sheffield United
- Sheffield United have been in mixed form of late, with one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five matches.
- Wilder is well known for his tactical flexibility, often changing his team’s shape to make them less predictable and a real threat on the break.
-
Wilder’s side have won eight of their 18 home games in the Championship this season (D3, L7), averaging 1.61 goals per home game.
- Record: 8 wins, D3, L7
- Average goals: 1.61 per home game
- Patrick Bamford is the Blades’ best player and top scorer with nine goals from 20 league appearances and they will need to be at their best to outscore a Wrexham side in good form.
Wrexham
- Wrexham beat Swansea City 2-0 at home and then Charlton Athletic 1-0 on their turf last weekend to make it four wins and one loss from their last five Championship matches.

- Kieffer Moore is Wrexham’s top scorer with 11 goals in 32 league games, but Nathan Broadhead has been in good nick recently, scoring three in Wrexham’s last five.
