Wrexham v Stevenage

Dean Saunders' Wrexham will be aiming to keep their play-off aspirations alive when high-flying Stevenage Borough visit the Racecourse Ground on Wednesday evening.

Saunders will have to make do without the services of defender Frank Sinclair, who is on the treatment table with a serious thigh injury.

Striker Lamine Sakho is a doubt after picking up an injury against Crawley at the weekend but Andrew Mangan is on stand-by to replace him if needed.

Looking ahead to the clash, Saunders told WalesOnline: "Stevenage are trying to win the league so I would imagine they will come here and try to win the game.

"But we have no reason to be afraid of them and, if we play like we can, we are capable of beating any side in the league.

"We played really well in the second half against Crawley and the longer the game went on the more goals we could have scored."

Stevenage manager Graham Westley will be missing the services of Charlie Griffin and Andy Drury for Wednesday's clash.

Ronnie Henry returns to contention following a three-match suspension.

Meanwhile, Westley has revealed that he is expecting a stern test from Saunders' Dragons at the Racecourse Ground.

He told The Comet: "I'd see it as more than a tricky game.

"I think it is a very, very difficult place to go. They are a big ex-Football League club, massive support, they've a lot of money to spend and they've spent it on some very good players.

"I've been really impressed with them. They are very athletic, very mobile, they pass the ball very well and they are a really tough proposition.

"They are tough and it's going to be a really awkward trip and the boys will have to be right on their game to make sure we come back with three points."
