  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Accrington secured a 2-0 win over Wrexham back in November and wildly celebrated the victory at Crown Ground. Now, wing-back Barnett, who missed that game due to a knee injury, wants to settle a score when they meet at the Racecourse on Saturday.

  WHAT RYAN BARNETT SAID

  He told Welsh publication, The Leader: "I was injured for that game but the lads said Accrington celebrated quite heavy after that win. It's not something that you take personally. When we win games, we celebrate so you have got to take it both ways. It would be nice to get one over on them so bring it on. That's what you get when you play for this club, everyone wants to beat us. Since I have been here, we have almost used it as a challenge. We know every team is going to give 110 per cent because they want to beat Wrexham but we will be ready for it."

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  This fixture has a little bit of niggle between the two sides as a war or words took place in the reverse fixture over Accrington's ticket prices. That, the "heavy" celebrations, and the fact that Wrexham could go back into the automatic promotion spots if results go their way is plenty motivation for the Red Dragons.
