Wrexham go head-to-head with Reading in the League Cup of England on September 23, with kickoff at 18:45 UTC.
Tensions run high as the upcoming match sees Wrexham and Reading renew their battle, 6 months after the League One encounter which Reading won 2-0. Wrexham come into this match following a defeat to QPR last Saturday, looking to bounce back with a stronger performance. Before Reading, they will play Norwich City in Championship, and the outcome of this game may heavily influence their preparations for Reading. Resolving issues at the back will be vital for improvement, particularly since their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last four home matches.
Reading are enduring a rough patch just like their oponents, entering this game after suffering two losses in a row to Barnsley and Swindon Town. They have an important match to navigate before facing Wrexham though, taking on Leyton Orient in League One, a fixture that is likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Wrexham. Their backline has lacked consistency, conceding goals in their last seven away matches in a row.
This League Cup clash shines a light on the players who have played crucial roles in creating and converting chances for Wrexham and Reading in this campaign. Wrexham’s attacking options, shaped by Phil Parkinson’s vision, have been bolstered by Kieffer Moore, the team’s top scorer, and James McClean, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Palmer has emerged as Wrexham’s leading scorer in League Cup this season, netting two goals, while McClean has been their leading creator in the competition with two assists. Lewis O'Brien, Elliot Lee and Josh Windass have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Wrexham’s attack.
Meanwhile, Lewis Wing and Andre Garcia have been pivotal for Reading’s attack, with Noel Hunt at the helm, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Garcia has already scored one goal in League Cup this season, while also leading the team in assists, having set up one goal this campaign. Adding further support are Manadi Camara, Jack Marriott and Daniel Kyerewaa, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.
