The first round of cup competitions can often be hard to analyse as many clubs will prioritise the league, even this close to the start of the season.

Wrexham had a rude awakening in their return to the EFL on Saturday, losing 5-3 to MK Dons at home, but the side were their usual high scoring and drama-filled selves.

Conceding two goals in the opening ten minutes, two goals in additional time and plenty of shots on target.

Though the scoreline could flatter MK, Wrexham were punished for mistakes at the back and from there the opposition sat back allowing them to take control of possession.

That might be a similar set up against Wigan but with a focus on retaining early control, versus what could well be a side mostly comprised of their U23 and U21 players and just a couple of experienced members.

What the opening games said about the two teams as that they shouldn't be underestimated, but that they also are both capable of scoring plenty of goals.
