MATCH PREVIEW
THE MATCH

Wrexham Team News: Wrexham will still be without Danny Williams and Dean Bennett along with the long term absentees of Andy Dibble, Brian Carey, Jim Whitley and Carlos Edwards but there is positive news as Chris Armstrong, Mark Jones and Levi Macken have all returned to the squad. Armstrong and Macken are still doubtful and with this in mind Denis Smith has retained trialist Matt Shaw in the squad but he will drop out if Armstrong is fit. There is unlikely to be any changes to the starting line up with Matt Baker in goal with a back three of Shaun Pejic, Steve Roberts and Dennis Lawrence. Matt Crowell will continue in the absence of Danny Williams to play alongside Darren Ferguson and Alex Smith in midfield. Simon Spender will be on the right with Andy Holt on the left with a front two of Hector Sam and Chris Llewellyn.

Wrexham Squad (18): Baker, Evans, Roberts, Pejic, Morgan, Lawrence, Holt, Spender, Crowell, Smith, Ferguson, Mackin, Quinn, Armstrong, Shaw, Jones, Sam, Llewellyn.

Opposition Team News: Peterborough boss Barry Fry has Chris Plummer and Curtis Woodhouse both unavailable through suspensions. Simon Rea should replace Plummer, with Steve Thomson and Andre Boucaud vying for Woodhouse's midfield spot.

Weather: Clear temperatures with a low of 7 degrees Celsius and a 6 mph southerly wind.

The Bookies View: Wrexham are best priced at evens with Sporting Odds who are also offering 12/5 along with Premier bet for the Peterborough win. Ladbrokes and Totesport are offering the draw at 11/4
