Liverpool aims to extend a favorable start under coach Andoni Iraola when facing Wrexham. However, the Welsh representative is predicted to bring a not-so-easy challenge after an impressive pre-season series.
Iraola had a successful debut when helping Liverpool defeat Sunderland 4-2. Kieran Morrison opened the score very early, but the defense with many young players caused The Kop to be reversed by the opponent right at the beginning of the second half.
However, the appearance of Dominik Szoboszlai changed the situation. The Hungarian midfielder scored the equalizer with a beautiful volley before Federico Chiesa and Lewis Koumas scored, helping Liverpool complete the comeback.
The first victory brings many positive signs for Iraola, especially the performance of Morrison and Koumas in the context that Liverpool is still looking for options to strengthen the attack.
In the upcoming match, the Anfield home team will have the services of Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Ryan Gravenberch after this trio returned from the post-World Cup 2026 break. All three are likely to have their first minutes of play under Iraola.
On the other side, Wrexham entered the match with great confidence. Coach Phil Parkinson's team has just had a successful 2025-2026 season when approaching the Championship play-off spot and continuing to maintain positive form in the summer friendly matches.
The Welsh representative made a big splash when defeating Manchester United 1-0 thanks to Sam Smith's goal, before overcoming Leeds United with a score of 3-2 in an emotional match.
