McClean returns, 3-5-2: The predicted Wrexham XI to face Mansfield on Good Friday
FLW predicts the starting line-up for Wrexham against Mansfield at the Racecourse Ground on Friday.
Wrexham return to action on Good Friday in what could be a crucial game for their automatic promotion hopes at home to League Two leaders Mansfield.
The Red Dragons are currently third in the table, just three points behind the Stags, with only seven matches left of their first campaign back in the EFL.
Phil Parkinson’s side head into the game at the Racecourse off the back of a convincing 3-1 win away at Grimsby.
Meanwhile, Nigel Clough’s Mansfield were held to a 1-1 draw by lowly Colchester United last weekend.
As fans look forward to what promises to be an exciting fixture between two promotion-chasing teams, we have predicted Wrexham’s likely starting XI.
Arsenal loanee Okonkwo has kept eleven league clean sheets at Wrexham this season (as per Transfermarkt) in an impressive spell in North Wales, firmly cementing his position as Parkinson’s number one.
The club is understood to be working hard to try and sign him on a permanent basis when his contract with the Gunners ends this summer, but whether he decides to stay could depend on what league they are in next season.
Bolton has found it hard to pin down a starting place since joining the Red Dragons in January.
However, an injury to Ryan Barnett saw him play the full 90 minutes against Grimsby and his composed performance down the right channel should be good enough to earn him another start on Friday.
