After an indifferent start to the season, Wrexham have risen into the play off picture in recent months following some impressive results, including a Boxing Day win over Rochdale. Ex-West Brom manager Dennis Smith (left) has had to endure financial difficulties over the past few seasons - last season they were deducted ten points for entering administration. This meant that they were relegated but they did manage to win the LDV Vans Trophy and have managed to maintain a solid squad capable of a straight return to League One. Wrexham have the strongest home form in the division, winning 8 of their 12 games. With the Mariners having the best away record in the division it should make it an interesting fixture.
In goal is a former target of Russell Slade - Michael Ingham - who joined the Dragons in the summer on a free transfer from Sunderland after having a previous loan spell at the Racecourse Ground. Trinidad and Tobago defender Dennis Lawrence has been playing for the Welsh side since 2001 and is a rock at the heart of their defence. In the summer, he could well be lining up for Trinidad against England in the World Cup. Ex-Hull player Andy Holt plays either at left back, left wing back or left midfield and is a fans' favourite - picking up every Supporters Club Player of the Year Award last term. Darren Ferguson (left), the son of Sir Alex Ferguson is the lynchpin of the Dragons midfield and netted a cracking goal against Rochdale on Boxing Day to help his side to victory. Robbie Foy is an exciting young forward on loan from Liverpool who has netted three times this season.
Jon Walters. Ex Hull City forward who joined on a free transfer from the KC Stadium this summer. Walters is an intelligent forward who probably doesn't score as many goals as he should - he has just 5 this season despite 23 league starts. Despite this, Town will want to keep a close eye on him.

Town don't have the greatest of records against the Dragons - having lost twenty games against them and recording only three wins in their last ten meetings. The Mariners have also won six times in their twenty four visits to Wrexham. P 49 W 18 D 11 L 20 F 58 A 64 Wrexham Head-to-Head (53rd on The Opposition Ladder)

The last time Town met Wrexham it was Nicky Law's first game in charge of the Mariners, back in March 2004. Not many players will remember that game - Tony Crane is the only player still at the club who played in that game. Wrexham ran out comfortable 3-0 winners with all their goals coming in the space of three minutes. Matty Crowell netted first before striker Chris Armstrong netted a brace to secure all three points for the Welshmen.
