THE CONTEXT

Two clubs that couldn't be more polar opposites in terms of financial prowess and infrastructure meet on Saturday in north Wales as the Hollywood-backed giants of Wrexham meet their in-form, part-time counterparts in Wealdstone. After an indifferent start to the season that leaves them sat outside the play-off places, the home side have started to find their mojo shipping eleven goals past Aldershot Town and King's Lynn Town in their last two games, whilst the Stones resolute displays have taken them to two dogged 1-0 victories over then league-leaders Grimsby Town and local rivals Barnet.

TEAM NEWS

The Stones welcomed back Rhys Browne and Alex Dyer from the bench on Saturday, with both having a key impact in the 1-0 victory over Barnet. Charlie Cooper also returned to the starting eleven joined by new signing Jamie Mascoll, who picked up an assist on his debut. Zach Dronfield also recovered from an ankle injury but didn't feature from the bench. Medy Elito and Connor Stevens both remain out injured, whilst Craig Fasanmade and Dan Wishart continue their loans with Hemel Hempstead Town in the league below.

WHO TO WATCH FOR?

Paul Mullin: Wrexham's new owners flexed their financial muscles in the summer to attract experienced EFL striker Mullin to the Racecourse Ground. Mullin's League Two record of 32 goals last season were instrumental in gaining Cambridge United promotion into League One. His move to the Red Dragons in the summer raised some eyebrows and his rich run of goalscoring form has continued in the National League and FA Cup, where he has scored 10 in 13 so far this season.
