Wrexham will look to begin their Championship jersey on a high note when they meet Southampton on Saturday.
The Red Dragons are coming off a historic run, which has seen them achieve three consecutive promotions to reach the Championship. They will look to repeat the feat for the fourth time and achieve a fairytale jump to the Premier League at the end of the campaign.
On the other hand, Southampton had a season to forget in the Premier League as they finished in bottom place with just two wins and 12 points to their name. Like their opponents, their aim for the season will be to return to the Premier League.
