Wrexham host Premier friendlies

Wrexham manager Dean Saunders has confirmed two Premier League sides will play his team in pre-season friendlies.

The Blue Square Premier side will host a Manchester City XI on 25 July and Wolverhampton Wanderers XI will play at the Racecourse Ground on 5 August.

Championship side Coventry City, managed by Saunders' friend Chris Coleman, will kick of Wrexham's pre-season schedule on Saturday, 11 July.

Preston North End and Huddersfield Town will also visit the Racecourse.

Wrexham will travel to Unibond League side Colwyn Bay on 15 July for their annual visit and also visit Blue Square North side Vauxhall Motors in Ellesmere Port on 28 July.

But it's a case of friends reunited for Saunders as he welcomes former Welsh international team-mates Coleman on 11 July to the Racecourse two weeks before Mark Hughes, now boss of Manchester City, visits on Saturday, 25 July.

Wolves is set to be the final pre-season game before the new Blue Square Premier season begins on Saturday, 8 August.
