Birmingham City travel to Wrexham for what has been dubbed the 'Hollywood Derby' on Thursday evening - and the world will be watching. Around four million people tuned in for the reverse fixture at St Andrew's back in September, when Blues beat the Red Dragons 3-1 thanks to goals from Tomoki Iwata and Jay Stansfield.

While Blues slipped into League One at the end of last season and Wrexham secured their second successive victory, as was predicted by many at the beginning of the season, both sides are contesting for promotion to the Championship after crossing the halfway stage of the campaign.


Blues head to Wales likely to be looking to cope without a number of players who are missing through injury; Paik Seung-ho and Iwata are doubts, having missed the win over Exeter City on Saturday, while Keshi Anderson, Emil Hansson, Lee Buchanan and Willum Willumsson are the others who are either certainly out or also doubtful. How can you tune in to tonight's game? See below.
