THE BIGGER PICTURE

Birmingham, on the other hand, will look to erase the memory of a torrid season in the Championship last term. And going by the SuperComputer, both teams are in for contrasting campaigns in 2024-25.
GOAL/GettyWHAT NEXT?
Phil Parkinson's Wrexham side begin their League One season at home to Wycombe Wanderers on August 10, while Birmingham entertain fellow former Premier League team Reading at home on the same date.
