Wrexham will look to end a three-game winless run when they travel to Prenton Park to face Tranmere Rovers in Saturday's League Two contest.
The hosts, meanwhile, will also be hoping to return to winning ways after losing their last three matches across all competitions.

Tranmere have experienced a difficult start to the campaign, picking up just three points from their opening five league matches.
They lost their opening two league games either side of a penalty-shootout win over Barnsley in the EFL Cup, before finally getting on the board with a comfortable 3-0 win over Harrogate Town.
However, since that result, Tranmere have suffered three consecutive defeats in all competitions, conceding eight goals in that period.
Their most recent loss took place on Tuesday when they were beaten 2-0 by Leicester City in the second round of the EFL Cup following goals from Wilfried Ndidi and Jamie Vardy.
They will now turn their attention back to league matters, as they prepare to face Wrexham for the first time since playing out a 2-2 draw in the National League in January 2018.

Wrexham, meanwhile, have found wins hard to come by since returning to the EFL, with their opening five league games producing one victory.
While Phil Parkinson will be frustrated by the lack of victories, he will be pleased with the fact that his side have not lost a league game since suffering a 5-3 defeat to MK Dons on the opening weekend of the season, having collected six points from their last four matches in the fourth tier.
Like their hosts, Wrexham were also in EFL Cup action on Tuesday, playing out a 1-1 draw with fellow League Two side Bradford City, ensuring that the tie was decided by a penalty shootout.
In contrast to the previous round, where they prevailed on penalties against Wigan Athletic, the Red Dragons were beaten 4-3 in the shootout, resulting in a second-round exit.
Wrexham will now head on their travels for Saturday's encounter, where they will be looking to claim their first away victory of the season.

We say: Tranmere Rovers 1-2 Wrexham
Although Wrexham have struggled defensively in the early stages of the season, they have had no trouble in finding the net, and we think that their firepower will prove too strong for a Tranmere side that have conceded eight goals in their last three competitive matches.
