Match Preview

Wrexham have a welcome break from League football in what is likely to be Brian Carey's last game in charge as we travel to Peterborough United in the first round proper of the FA Cup.

Darren Ferguson and his assistant, Kevin Russell, do not need any introductions to Wrexham fans and it is difficult to ignore the irony of the situation as Ferguson assisted Brian Carey in his first game in charge at Swindon back in January.

Peterborough's come back against Dagenham at London Road in midweek extended their unbeaten run in the league to nine games and the Posh climbed into third position in the process.

Peterborough have gradually climbed up the table following an indifferent start to the season and currently boast one of the best home records in the league with five wins and only one defeat in the league at London Road so far this season.

Aaron McLean is top scorer for Ferguson's outfit and his two late goals in midweek took his tally to six for the season.

McLean arrived at London Road at the beginning of January in a £150,000 move from Grays Athletic after spending a couple of months on loan prior to his move and is so far averaging a goal every other game for Peterborough.

Recent Encounters:

The clubs have only met in the Cup on three occasions with all ties coming during the 1990s.

Peterborough won 1-0 in 1996 at London Road but Wrexham got revenge the following season when Kevin Russell, Posh's now assistant manager, scored twice in our 4-2 win en route to the quarter finals that season.

The other game came in the following season when Dave Brammer scored the only goal of the game late on at the Racecourse.

Team News:

There are no fresh injury worries from Wednesday night and the on loan pairing of Robbie Garrett and Matty Collins have been given permission to play in the FA Cup by their parent clubs.

Michael Carvill will have a fitness test on his dead but Danny Williams, Mark Jones and Juan Ugarte are again unavailable, and we will be without a substitute keeper for the third game in succession as Michael Jones has failed to recover from his hip problem.

Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson is set to name an unchanged squad.  Winger Josh Low is back from a hamstring injury but was not even on the bench in midweek while Micah Hyde was among the substitutes.
