Why is West Ham vs Wrexham being played on Friday?
The Championship fixture was moved from the standard weekend schedule after being selected for live television coverage.
The unusual timing comes during a demanding run for West Ham.
Nuno’s side beat Bolton Wanderers 3-2 on Tuesday night, with Jarrod Bowen scoring twice as the Hammers secured a third successive Championship victory.
