Peterborough United will aim for their third straight win when they host Wrexham at Weston Homes Stadium for Saturday's League One clash.
The hosts lost 2-0 at home to Huddersfield on the first weekend of the season but they have responded with successive league wins over Shrewsbury Town and Exeter City.
On the other hand, the visitors have made an excellent start to the 2024-25 season, losing just one of their opening four games, with that defeat coming up against Championship side Sheffield United in the EFL Cup. They will be looking to secure back-to-back wins following their victory over Reading last weekend.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
