Wrexham's Phil Parkinson anticipates Birmingham City to make alterations to their lineup for their Championship match tonight. Birmingham suffered a 6-1 defeat to Brentford in the EFL Cup earlier this week, sparking criticism of head coach Chris Davies. Despite this, Parkinson is confident the Red Dragons will focus on the positives from their 1-1 draw with Watford last time out.
Parkinson expects changes due to the cup game nature and the result, stating the team will learn from their performance against Watford and aim to implement it. The Wrexham boss emphasized their enjoyment of night games at the Racecourse, noting the atmosphere is "very special under the lights." Birmingham has been a fierce competitor for Wrexham in recent years, making the upcoming match intriguing.
Josh Windass, last season's top scorer, has been absent due to a calf injury and is expected to return for the Birmingham game. However, Parkinson will be without George Thomason, who is out until November with a thigh injury, along with Ben Sheaf and Liberato Cacace, both injured for the match. New signings Issa Kabore and Jacques Ekomie are expected to be fit for the encounter.
