Sheffield United v Wrexham: How to watch, TV channel, kick-off time, head-to-head stats and team news

Tuesday's meeting between Sheffield United and Wrexham looks to be one of the most intriguing ties in the opening round of the EFL Cup.

The Blades are looking to regroup after their relegation from the Premier League and they made a winning start to life back in the Championship with Friday's 2-0 win at Preston.

Wrexham won promotion to League One and Saturday's 3-2 opening day home win against Wycombe means they will head to Bramall Lane in good spirits.

Both made winning starts to their league campaigns and may see this competition as a chance to build confidence and test themselves against a Premier League side when the first batch enter the draw in time for the second round.

The duo have recent history, playing out a pair of thrillers in the fourth round of the FA Cup in 2023, tying 3-3 at the Racecourse Ground before the Blades won the replay 3-1 at Bramall Lane. 

Their three clashes prior to that all came in this competition, while their most recent league meetings were in Division Three in 1982/83.
