Wrexham’s game with Birmingham branded ‘the Hollywood derby’ as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s side get set to face Tom Brady’s big spenders in huge promotion clash

The League One glamour tie will also have plenty riding on it as both teams have made strong starts to the season. Wrexham currently sit top of the pile after making an unbeaten start to the new campaign following their promotion last season. Birmingham are also flying high and sit just three points behind the Welsh side ahead of the game.

• WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

  Former striker and Sky Sports’ EFL expert Don Goodman is looking forward to the fixture. He told Betway: “It’s the Hollywood derby! There’s so much glitz and glamour about it, I’m covering the game for Sky Sports.  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. 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. I’m interested to see who comes out on top. It’s fantastic for the EFL.”
