Hull took advantage of an FA Cup hangover for Wrexham to strengthen their grip on a Championship playoff place with a 2-1 win in north Wales that put them six points clear of the Red Dragons.

Luton Town want to sign Elliot Lee from Wrexham in the January transfer window, according to Sports Boom . The former West Ham United attacking midfielder was on the books of Luton from 2017 until 2022, before he moved to the Welsh club. Lee underwent knee surgery earlier in the campaign and has failed to establish himself in Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson's team. The 31-year-old has made three appearances in the Carabao Cup for the Welsh outfit so far this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process.
Picking up a heavyweight FA Cup scalp earlier in the month as they edged past Premier League outfit Nottingham Forest, the Red Dragons have their sights firmly set on mounting another iconic promotion charge in 2026. Including a 2-1 win against Derby on January 4th, Wrexham have won each of their other five appearances across all competitions. Claiming a pulsating 5-3 victory against Sheffield United last month, Parkinson's play-off dreamers have also gained a reputation for their lively outcomes.

Norwich remain in the relegation zone despite an upturn in results since Philippe Clement succeeded the sacked Liam Manning in November, but are within a point of Blackburn and Portsmouth in 22nd.
Patrick Bamford had looked like stealing the headlines with a well-taken early double for the Blades but the hosts powered back to claim their first win in six Sky Bet Championship outings.
