  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Wrexham broke a run of three successive defeats against Sutton United on Tuesday evening, winning 2-1, and they will now renew their rivalry with Notts County this weekend. The two sides engaged in a classic battle for automatic promotion in the National League last season; Wrexham won the title with 111 points, while County finished second with 107, and were ultimately promoted via the play-offs. As a result, Boyle has urged fans to ratchet up the noise levels on Saturday.

• WHAT BOYLE SAID

  Speaking to Wrexham's YouTube channel after the win ovr Sutton, Boyle said: "It’s Saturday-Tuesday now. We play the next two Tuesdays now. Lots of away games. So it's good for the spirit. We go again back to the Racecourse on Saturday and hopefully we can get that place rocking. So there's a lot of work still to do, we know that. But that was a good result for us."
