Head to Head
This will be the 121st time that Chesterfield and Wrexham will face each other – with the first game between the two sides taking place 100 years ago in November.
The last meeting was an action-packed one as the Blues snatched a late winner through Akwasi Asante to record a 2-1 victory in January.
Form Guide
The Spireites haven’t won in three games after a draw with Boreham Wood and defeats against Bromley and FC Halifax Town.
Wrexham have recorded successive 4-0 away wins after their trio of defeats against promotion contenders Notts County, Stockport County and Torquay United.
Team News
Danny Rowe could make his much-anticipated debut for the Spireites at the Racecourse Ground.
Jak McCourt has resumed full training and could be in contention to return to the starting XI on Saturday.
From the dugout:
James Rowe: “They lost three on the bounce and they bounced back with two 4-0 wins. Everything is rosy in their garden.
“They are on a good run of form with their last two wins and two clean sheets. But I’m sure it’s going to be a really tasty game as it was here.”
