Third straight 1-1 finish sees us into the international break. A disappointing finish after a strong start.

1-1, FT’

Birmingham scores, but are ruled offside.

Phil just brought on more reinforcements to try to win this.

Wrexham are growing into the half, but need to click further up the pitch.

The second half barely begins and Birmingham have struck back. Defensive breakdown.

Kabore and Windass combine and nearly score. Both sides playing aggressively, but Wrexham are a bit more dangerous to my eye.

1-0, Wrexham - 36’

Wrexham take an early lead thanks to a combination of headers from Cleworth and Dobson off a corner!

Doyle and Brunt swap places once again, but otherwise it's an unchanged XI from Tuesday. Let's get after it, lads!

Important Correction: While the date was correct, the original preview for the Birmingham match says Saturday instead of Friday. It's tomorrow!

After a solid performance against Leicester, Wrexham should be full of confidence heading into the first "Hollywood Derby" of the season.

1-1, FT

Wrexham shock the Foxes (and many pundits) with an excellent display against the promotion favorites to take home a point…with several close calls toward the end where they nearly won it.

A statement of a match from Parkinson’s boys.

Broadhead nearly scored a second just as four minutes of stoppage time are announced.

Really thought it was going in. Wow, what a match it’s been. Wrexham fight on.

As we enter the final fifteen minutes, Broadhead knots it up after sustained pressure! An excellent finish from a tight angle after receiving O’Brien’s pass.

Reds are looking good at the moment and Leicester look caught off guard.

Second half kicks off and Windass is still on the pitch, so that’s a good sign. Last thing we need is another injury layoff for him.

Windass down after a collision - looks like his ankle was stepped on.

The Foxes pull off a really smooth move to bypass the Wrexham defense and have taken the lead.

Twenty minutes in and both side have missed some big chances, but Wrexham are holding their own against a confident Leicester City side.

Wrexham given a free kick in a good position. Wall does its job and Wrexham’s ensuing corner goes nowhere in what was essentially the last action of the game.

On the whole, a draw feels appropriate but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hoping for a win ahead of Leicester.
