WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The League One glamour tie will also have plenty riding on it as both teams have made strong starts to the season. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rob-mcelhenney-celebrates-wrexham-top-league-one-shrewsbury/blt0f400cc278e44deb" target="_blank">Wrexham currently sit top of the pile</a> after making an unbeaten start to the new campaign following their promotion last season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Former striker and Sky Sports' EFL expert Don Goodman is looking forward to the fixture. He told <a href="https://betway.com/en/sports/cat/soccer" target="_blank">Betway</a>: "It's the Hollywood derby! There's so much glitz and glamour about it, I'm covering the game for Sky Sports.&nbsp; I don't think it's the biggest game in League One history when you've had the likes of Leeds United, Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland in the division.&nbsp;It brings eyes from around the world to the lower levels of the EFL and even non-league football. The exposure it brings is fantastic. It will be a sell-out and a fantastic atmosphere with two good teams.&nbsp;I'm interested to see who comes out on top.&nbsp;It's fantastic for the EFL.”</p>

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

<p>Birmingham have a free week to prepare for the game, while Wrexham host Salford City in the Football League Trophy on Tuesday before turning their attentions to the top-of-the-table clash.</p><p></p>
