Players to watch out for:

Jordan Ayew (Leicester City)

The veteran striker has established himself as one of the most important players at Leicester. He has only scored one goal in the league so far this season. Still expect him to play a crucial role against Wrexham in the upcoming game.

The Ghanaian international is known for his positioning. He is equally effective all across the front line.

Lewis O’Brien (Wrexham)

Despite Wrexham’s bad start to the season, Lewis O’Brien has been exceptional for them so far. Along with being excellent on the ball, the Englishman is known for his high and intense pressing. He is also very versatile and can play as a central and defensive midfielder.

He scored in his last match, and a similar performance is expected from him against the Foxes.
