Wrexham are back in action in a crucial clash against Ryan Lowe’s Wigan Athletic.
Phil Parkinson has named an unchanged side for the last five consecutive League One matches as his side have found a consistent formula for picking up wins.
Wycombe fans still believe in promotion following their 1-0 victory over Huddersfield and are just three points behind Wrexham in the table heading into the next round of fixtures.
Phil Parkinson revealed some fitness concerns ahead of the Wigan Athletic clash but will be hoping to once again manufacture a victory as promotion edges ever closer.

Wrexham team and injury news vs Wigan Athletic
Jay Rodriguez was substituted in the first half of Wrexham’s 3-0 win over Burton Albion with a tight calf and has been monitored throughout the build up to the game.
George Dobson also limped off at half time of that clash and required stitches following a challenge from Charlie Webster, which saw the Burton player sent off for his tackle.
Sam Smith was also struggling with illness during that win at the Racecourse Ground but is expected to have recovered, whilst Parkinson has mentioned some other squad members have also been struggling.
The Red Dragons will be hoping that a free week in the run up to the clash with Wigan would have allowed tired bodies and minds some recovery time and the squad are raring to go for the huge game.
Phil Parkinson to name unchanged team again in Wrexham predicted XI
Never change a winning formula is often a phrase used in football and that could be the mantra that Parkinson follows once again for what will undoubtedly be a tight game against former Premier League opposition.
Arthur Okonkwo’s award of League One player of the month will give him confidence to continue his incredible clean sheet record behind the excellence of Eoghan O’Connell leading the back three.
Dobson has been playing with knocks in recent weeks and will want to do so again to help the team, slotting in alongside Ollie Rathbone and Matty James in the midfield three.
Smith and Rodriguez are set to continue their partnership up top and will be provided with quality into the box from wing backs Ryan Longman and James McClean against his former side.
With Parkinson praising the impact of his subs against Burton Albion, it is unlikely Paul Mullin will return to the match day squad for tenth consecutive outing.
It is a clear message to the striker from his manager that he is set to use other members of the Wrexham squad to get the club over the promotion line.
