After collecting a single point from back-to-back away matches against Leyton Orient and Stevenage – failing to score during eight game – Wrexham returned to winning ways at home on Saturday, beating League One strugglers Northampton.

Scoring just on three occasion during the League Two promotion-winning campaign of 2023-24, former Republic of Ireland international James McClean bagged a brace for Wrexham last time out, while Jack Marriott and midfielder Elliot Lee also breached the Cobblers’ net to secure a 4-1 victory.

After 10 matches in League One, Wrexham currently occupy second position in the standings, two points behind league leaders Birmingham City, who have played a game fewer heading into the October international break.

Wrexham are also on course for success in the EFL Trophy, with goals from club legend Paul Mullin and Will Boyle securing a 2-1 victory over League Two Salford City from the opening match of the group on September 10.

After finishing third behind eventual League One champions Derby County and Lincoln City in their 2023-24 group, Wolves are on a mission to progress into the knockout stages of the EFL Trophy this time around, although they might need to produce a surprise result on Tuesday night in order to do so.

Courtesy of efforts either side of the break from Tom Edozie and Fletcher Holman, Wolves managed to take a points from their trip to League Two promotion chasers Port Vale during gameweek one of the competition, although it was the senior side who snatched the extra point following a 5-4 penalty-shootout win.

The Old Gold have since been widly inconsistent in their Premier League 2 advantures, beating Leeds United U21 on September 21 before losing by the same scoreline to Derby County U21 on September 30, all prior to commencing October’s run of matches with a 4-2 beating of Everton U21.

Opening the scoring for Wolves in Kidderminster against the young Toffees on Friday, Dani Angel bumped his goal tally up to three Premier League 2 this season, with the 18-year-old Spaniard hoping to showcase his talents against senior opposition in the EFL Trophy.

Part of a 26-team division at the highest level of academy football in England, Wolves are occupying 16th position in the Premier League 2 table, level on points with prestigoius youth systems such as Aston Villa and Chelsea.
