| Squad: Rogers, Warren, Carey, Lawrence, Holmes, Gibson, Phillips, Ferguson, Thomas, Faulconbridge, Sam, Russell, Roberts, Edwards, Blackwood, Morrell. | Squad: Allott, Balmer, Boshell, Carss, Corazzin, Duxbury, Eyres, Garnett, Hotte, Kelly, McNiven, Miskelly, Rickers, Sheridan D, Sheridan J, Tipton. |
| Other News: Rogers is favourite to start ahead of Walsh in goal. Shaun Holmes will make his debut at left back with either Warren of Phillips on the right. Centre backs should be Brian Carey and Dennis Lawrence. With Lee Trundle out suspended expect Hector Sam and Craig Faulconbridge to play upfront. Midfield is harder to predict with any three from Kevin Russell, Robin Gibson, Michael Blackwood and Carlos Edwards to play alongside Darren Ferguson. | Other News: The experienced Garry Kelly will be in goal in front of a flat back four that is expected to include new signing Stuart Balmer alongside McNiven, Garnett and Darren Sheridan. An experienced midfield will contain John Sheridan and Mike Duxbury and the danger man up front will be Carlo Corrazin. He scored five against Wrexham last season, four of which came in the 5-1 demolition at Boundary Park. He will be partnered by either Mathew Tipton or John Eyre. |

| Kevin Reeves: "We have played them a number of times and it's always a challenge. I have great respect for Andy Ritchie who has done a brilliant job on a limited budget. There have been mixed results against them. I think we lost 5-1 there (Boundary Park) last season and beat them 3-1 at home so it's different every time." [Source: Sporting Life] |
Andy Richie: "We played Wrexham in the Isle of Man tournament although that wasn't necessarily a true reflection of what it will be like on Saturday. It will be a tough game - it usually is when your first one is away from home. But we've looked at this one and we think we've got a good chance, so long as we play well." [Source: Ananova] |
