When it comes to the playing personnel, two men in particular are likely to attract significant attention.
Former Blade Kieffer Moore – who scored six times in 30 appearances for Sheffield United in 2024-25 before securing a switch to north Wales – netted twice against his former employers last season.
Having scored 13 times in his debut campaign for Wrexham, the Wales international has already notched five goals this season at an impressive rate of a goal every 160 minutes.
“He’s had a good start to the season, Kieffer,” Parkinson said.
“On his day, of which he’s had quite a few this season, he’s a real handful and a difficult player to play against.”
Ruben Selles was at the helm at Sheffield United when Moore departed the club, with Wilder previously admitting he would not have sold the Welshman had he been in charge.
Before his latest reunion with Moore, Wilder commented: “He’s posed a threat for every defence he’s played against right through his career, and at international level.
“He’s had an outstanding season last year and he’ll be delighted with the career he’s had.”
Callum O’Hare joined the Hollywood-owned club in the summer transfer window and is poised to line-up against the Blades for the first time since leaving Bramall Lane.
Wilder accused Wrexham of a “blanket bombing” approach to the final stages of the summer transfer window at the time of their pursuit of the attacking midfielder – who scored for the Blades at Wrexham last season.
Having praised O’Hare’s character in addition to stating he “enjoyed working with Callum” when discussing the 28-year-old in his latest pre-match press conference, Wilder was eager to show a line has been drawn.
“You don’t want to lose your best players, but I’m not going over old ground on that,” he said.
“There’s a reason why that happened. The timing of it wasn’t great, but we had to deal with it and get on with it.”
