Wrexham - Preston

Wrexham face a significant challenge to regain momentum as they navigate a mounting injury crisis that has sidelined key figures like Josh Windass, Max Cleworth, and Nathan Broadhead. The hosts welcome Preston North End to SToK Cae Ras on 17 October 2026 for this Championship matchday 11 encounter, aiming to bounce back from a narrow defeat against West Bromwich Albion. With the expected XI featuring Callum O'Hare and Kieffer Moore, the home side will look to rediscover the form that saw them secure a victory over Southampton earlier this season.

Preston North End arrive in equally difficult circumstances, enduring a challenging run that includes a heavy loss to Birmingham City in their most recent outing. The visitors must also contend with the suspension of Stanley Mills as they search for a first win in several weeks. Having shared a competitive history, including a 2-1 win for Wrexham in their last league meeting in December 2025, both sides are desperate to secure three points to steady their respective campaigns.
