Wrexham prepares for record-breaking crowd at London Stadium
Summary

Wrexham is set to play in front of its largest-ever crowd this Friday when the team faces West Ham United at London Stadium. The match is expected to draw more than 60,000 spectators, which would surpass the previous record of 54,096 set during a 1970 FA Cup game against Liverpool at Anfield. Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson confirmed the team is looking forward to the fixture against the current Championship leaders. The squad arrives at the venue after facing Burnley on Tuesday, continuing a challenging week against former Premier League clubs. Wrexham must navigate this contest without defender Cleworth, who remains sidelined for two months. West Ham United enters the game following three consecutive victories, with Parkinson identifying Jarrod Bowen as a primary focal point for the opposition's attack.
