Notts County team news vs Wrexham as Magpies side named in top of the table clash

Luke Williams has made five changes to the side that beat Wealdstone at the weekend ahead of their top of the table clash against Wrexham.

Sam Slocombe returns in goal for the Magpies after missing the last two games through injury, with the Notts boss opting for experience in a game of this stature and importance - Archie Mair drops out of the squad entirely despite keeping two clean sheets in his first two league starts for the club as Tiernan Brooks is named on the bench.

Despite starting in the win on Good Friday, Aden Baldwin also misses the trip to north Wales after only just returning from his latest injury setback, with Geraldo Bajrami returning at the heart of the back three where he has looked back to his best in recent weeks.

Richard Brindley also drops out of the matchday squad after starting his first competitive game for the club in almost three months last Friday, with Connell Rawlinson coming in to the right-hand side of the back three.

Another player absent from the win against the Stones was Ruben Rodrigues after being substituted early during the win over Altrincham, but the 26-year-old starts this afternoon, replacing Jodi Jones on the bench.

Sam Austin also drops down to the bench despite another excellent display three days ago - Jim O'Brien comes into the midfield with Williams perhaps again leaning on his more experienced players, with the midfielder producing a fantastic display in the return fixture before withdrawing through injury.

Notts County line-up: Slocombe; Cameron, Bajrami, Rawlinson, Chicksen, Nemane; Bostock, Palmer; O'Brien, Rodrigues, Langstaff.

SUBS: Brooks, Vincent, Jones, Austin, Scott.
