MATCH BUILDUP
TEAM NEWS
Wrexham Morecambe Bay
Injuries: Andy Dibble misses out with a thigh injury and Chris Armstrong is still not fully fit. Injuries: Michael Stringfellow is ruled out by an ankle problem and captain Stuart Drummond is out until at least Christmas with a torn knee ligament.
Suspensions: Brian Carey. Suspensions: None.
Squad (17): Whitfield, Morgan, Pejic, Roberts, Lawrence, C Edwards, P Edwards, Holmes, Ferguson, Whitley, Thomas, Barrett, Crowell, M Jones, Llewellyn, Jones, Sam. Last Starting Line up: Mawson, Walmsley, Bentley, Swan, McKearney, Thompson, Collins, Perkins, Howell, Rigoglioso, Curtis. Subs: Murphy, Lane, Carlton, Rogan, Sugden.
Other News: Paul Whitfield replaces Andy Dibble in goal and there will be a change in defence with Brian Carey suspended. Shaun Pejic is back in the squad but expect Craig Morgan to start alongside Steve Roberts and Dennis Lawrence. Part from these changes the starting line up should resemble the team that started against port vale with Jim Whitley and Darren Ferguson in midfield flanked by Carlos and Paul Edwards on the right and left respectively. Chris Llewellyn will play in the hole behind the front two of Hector Sam and Lee Jones. Denis Smith has not named a reserve goalkeeper as cover for Paul Whitfield in the absence of Andy Dibble. Other News: Lee Collins and Gary Thompson returned for Morecambe with no ill affects against Gravesend so should continue at the Racecourse Ground.

Collins had been suffering from a knee injury while Thompson had a spell on the sidelines because of a recurring inflammatory condition which affects his joints.
