Wrexham have confirmed the date for their EFL Trophy semi-final - with a potential third 'Hollywood Derby' at Wembley on the line.

Phil Parkinson's side beat 2023 winners Bolton Wanderers at the Stok Racecourse in Tuesday night's quarter-final to progress to the last four of the competition.

They will now face holders Peterborough United at home, with the tie taking place on Wednesday, 26 February (19:30 GMT).

The game is being held 24 hours after Rhian Wilkinson's Wales welcome Sweden to the Stok Racecourse in the Nations League.

League Two Bradford City take on Wrexham's promotion rivals Birmingham City in the other EFL Trophy semi-final on Tuesday, 18 February.

Wins for Wrexham and Birmingham would set up a Wembley meeting for the two third-tier clubs, whose games this year have generated attention thanks to the sides' high-profile owners.

But Wrexham will first have to get past a Peterborough side managed by Darren Ferguson, who was a goalscoring captain when Wrexham last won the competition in 2005.

The final will take place on Sunday, 13 April.
