Ollie Westbury's predicted Shrewsbury XI vs Wrexham

With the international break coming at a bad time Paul Hurst has a few selection conundrums ahead of the Wrexham clash.

Both Aaron Pierre and Luca Hoole are not available this weekend as they represent their respective countries.

So what XI will the Town boss pick for the derby against Phil Parkinson's high-flying Wrexham?

Toby Savin

The Town number one has been excellent so far this season and will keep his place in between the posts.

Mal Benning

It is still too early for George Nurse to be challenging the full-back for a starting place as he eases his way in - Benning performed well against Wrexham earlier this year.

Toto Nsiala

It was a clean sheet last time out for the big defender, he has started every game so far this season.

Carl Winchester

The big question has been who will play at right-back. Winchester is a player who has done it before in a Shrewsbury shirt and could be called upon here.

Alex Gilliead

Has played once in the one victory Town have to their name. He will play here.

Taylor Perry

He has been back in favour of late and has done very well in a deeper role.

Leo Castledine

The number 10 scored last weekend and has been promising since his arrival.

Tommi O'Reilly

Has been very impressive so far this season. He got his first assist against Leyton Orient and will continue on the right.

Charles Sagoe Jr

The winger has been brought in to play so with more minutes under his belt this game could be the first league game we see the Arsenal loanee from the start.

George Lloyd

Impressed up front on his own last week, expect him to keep his place.

Subs: Young, Nurse, Ojo, Marquis, Shipley, Bloxham.
