Wrexham boss Dean Keates on play-off race

He told The Leader: “The games come thick and fast.

“It is tight, is congested and teams in and around us are playing each other over the next three or four games.

“We have got ourselves in the mix and we have got to continue the form that we have been in over the last two games to give ourselves the best opportunity to still be in the mix at the end of the season and get into the play-offs.”

Early team news

There was no mention of any injuries at the pre-match presser but that does not mean there are not any.

New signing Danny Rowe should make his debut.

Curtis Weston is nursing a sore Achilles but played 90 minutes in midweek.

Jak McCourt is back in training so we might seem him involved in the next week or so.

One of the big questions is who will start in goal? James Montgomery or Grant Smith? Smith has been excellent but it was Montgomery who got the nod against Halifax.

We should get the team news around 2pm so check back later.
