Wrexham are just one game away from the National League play-off final.

After suffering heartbreak at the hands of Bromley in the FA Trophy final at Wembley last Sunday, the Dragons will be hoping to secure another trip to the English capital by overcoming the Mariners at the Racecourse Ground in the play-off semi-final. Should Wrexham win the next two games, they would return to the Football League after a 14-year absence.

What’s the latest team news?

Dragons boss Phil Parkinson may well consider changes to his Wrexham XI with Thomas O'Connor and Liam McAlinden among those who could make way.

However, by and large, his side is likely to stay the same for the visit of the Mariners, who are likewise set to be largely unchanged for this contest, despite going to extra-time against Notts County in their previous quarter-final.


What have the managers said?

Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson: "You get knocked and you have got to pick yourself up quickly. We have got so much to play for this season, starting on Saturday. From day one there has been a real focus, the FA Trophy was always a bonus for us and we need to be ready and focused and give everything we have got to get into the play-off final."

Grimsby Town boss Paul Hurst: "There's pressure to a degree on what we put on ourselves and the hopes and aspirations that we have. But I would say it's fair there's not as much pressure on us. My opinions on the squad I inherited and the changes we have made, it does feel like we have made a lot of progress in a year and a half."
