*Link1* last Saturday, and are now just four points behind Eastleigh, who currently occupy the final play-off position.

Despite showing good form in the FA Cup and FA Trophy, in the league Wrexham have won just two of their last 14 games.

*Ppic1**BS*DOVER TEAM NEWS*BF*
Dover made one change from their FA Trophy triumph which played Dartford last Saturday, with Sean Francis starting for *Link2*. Francis is expected to start on Tuesday night.

New signing Solomon Taiwo made his second debut for the club as a second half substitute in the last game. He will be pushing to get in the starting XI like he did when he was on loan earlier in the season.

Other new signing Adam Mekki was an unused substitute against Dartford and he will also be keen to get some game time to break into the first team.

*BS*OPPOSITION FORM*BF*
Wrexham suffered a 0-4 hammering to bottom placed Telford United last Saturday, which means they lie in 16th place in the Vanarama Conference.

Before that, the Welsh side eased past Stockport United 6-1 in an FA Trophy replay. They now host either Grimsby or Gateshead in the last 16 of the competition.

Kevin Wilkin’s Wrexham, also known as the Dragons, have had two league games postponed of late, firstly at home to Forest Green on December 28, then away to Gateshead on January 4.

Despite being one of the lowest scorers in the Conference (31) outside the top 10 positions, they have conceded the least (34) outside the top 10.

Like Dover, the visitors to Crabble on Tuesday had a superb FA Cup run this campaign, as they also reached the third round.

They beat fellow Conference sides Macclesfield (5-2 in a replay) and Woking (3-0) in the fourth qualifying and first round respectively, before beating Kent based Maidstone United 3-1 in round two.

Similarly to Dover, Wrexham were then rewarded with Premier League opposition in the third round as they travelled to Stoke City and played in front of a crowd of almost 20,000 people (5000 Wrexham fans).

Despite going 0-1 up in the second half, three goals in the final 10 minutes ended Wrexham’s chance of making it to the fourth round.

*Lpic1**BS*WREXHAM TEAM NEWS*BF*
Connor Jennings is suspended for the game on Tuesday after picking up a straight red card in the last match against Telford.

Wrexham recently acquainted centre-back Luke Waterfall from League One Scunthorpe United. He was a second half substitute in their last game and could start from the beginning against Dover.

Goalkeeper Andy Coughlin is likely to start on Tuesday night, with other keeper Dan Bachmann suffering a thigh injury in the FA Trophy win last Tuesday.

Defender Blaine Hudson and midfielder Elliott Durrell are both likely to miss the game against Dover due to injuries.

Top scorer Louis Moult has 11 goals this season and is expected to start on Tuesday. Moult was a prolific goal scorer for Stoke City’s reserve and academy side but failed to get a break into the first team.

*BS*MATCH INFORMATION*BF*
Just a decade ago, Wrexham were playing in the third tier of English football with the likes of Hull City, Bournemouth and Sheffield Wednesday. However, they were relegated that season finishing 22nd.

After a difficult time in League two, they suffered relegation again in the 2007-2008 season which ended their 87-year stay in the Football League.

This is now the Dragons seventh season in the Conference, despite coming close to regaining league status on three occasions.

Wrexham are no strangers to play-off heartache, having lost back-to-back semi-final defeats in the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 seasons losing to Luton Town on both occasions, who themselves lost the final both times.

In the 2012-2013 season, the Dragons suffered more play-off misery, this time losing to Newport County in the first ever all Wales play-off final at Wembley, conceding two late goals in the last four minutes of the game.

Last campaign, Wrexham finished a disappointing 17th place, 18 points off a play-off position.

Tuesday’s match will be the first ever competitive match between the two teams.

Admission for Tuesday’s game is £15 for adults, £12 for over 60’s, £6 for under 18’s with under 11’s going for free with a paying adult.

Tom Murphy bagged a brace while Nicky Deverdics, Richard Orlu, Liam Bellamy and Barry Cogan also got on the scoresheet as Whites hit six at Crabble for the first time since a 6-3 win against Farnborough in 2010.

Deverdics’ header crossed the line but Dartford found themselves on equal terms as Harry Crawford’s equaliser cancelled Deverdics’ opener, before Orlu’s thumping header restored Dover’s lead on the stroke of half time.

Whites breezed past a poor Darts side in the second half as Murphy’s wonderful curling effort was followed by Bellamy’s first goal of the season just two minutes later.

Cogan confidently converted a penalty for his second goal in four games before Murphy finished the scoring for Whites as Chris Kinnear’s side moved closer to the play-offs.

*BS*Dover Athletic look to climb further up the Vanarama Conference as they welcome Kent rivals Dartford to Crabble on Saturday.*BF*

Whites progressed to the last 16 of the FA Trophy after a 0-1 win at Havant and Waterlooville last Saturday courtesy of Ricky Modeste’s first goal of the season.

Chris Kinnear’s side will now travel to Woking after they beat Oxford City 2-1 in a replay on Tuesday night, with just three more rounds until the final that will be played at Wembley stadium.

Dover and Dartford last met on September 16 where the Darts won 2-1 despite Whites taking the lead and dominating the majority of the game, as well as missing a stoppage time penalty.

Three points on Saturday could see Whites climb as a high as 10th position, while a victory for the visitors will give them a much needed three points and confidence boost.

*Lpic1**BS*TEAM NEWS FOR DOVER*BF*
Goalkeeper Mitch Walker, who had to be substituted after picking up a hand injury the last time the two teams met, has recently recovered from that injury which left him on the sidelines for almost four months. He was on the bench against Havant therefore Andrew Rafferty is expected to start between the sticks.

Winger Ricky Modeste will be pushing for a start after coming off the bench to score the crucial goal in Dover’s last game.

Chris Kinnear junior is also close to a return from an injury and maybe fit for Saturday.

*BS*TEAM NEWS FOR DARTFORD*BF*
Dartford made two changes from the side that played Burgess Hill in the FA Trophy last Saturday. Danny Harris and Nathan Green started while Tom Bradbook and Peter Sweeney dropped to the bench.

Nathan Green was recently bought on a free transfer from Dagenham & Redbridge.

He has made three appearances since signing out of a possible three and is expected to play on Saturday.

Goalkepper Deren Ibrahim is expected to start in goal for the Darts against Dover.

Versatile player Lee Burns captained the Darts in their last game due to the absence of club captain and top scorer Elliot Bradbook. Bradbook has scored seven goals in the league this season but is a major doubt for the Dover game.

*BS*OPPOSITION FORM*BF*
Dartford progressed to the last 16 of the FA Trophy with a 1-2 victory against Ryman South side Burgess Hill Town.

On Tuesday night, the Darts slumped to a fourth straight league defeat after losing 1-2 to nine-man Halifax Town.

Dartford took the league through Harry Crawford but Halifax equalised before half time as well as seeing Lois Maynard get a red card before the break. Shaymen forward Scott Boden then scored a second half penalty, before James Bolton then saw a red card for serious foul play but Halifax held on to pick up the win.

The Darts have only won one league match in their last 10 games and have conceded 20 goals in the process.

They also haven’t kept a clean sheet in the league since August 23, which was a goalless draw against Torquay. Dartford have only kept two clean sheets in all competitions all season.

Only Nuneaton (26) have scored less league goals in the league than the visitors to Crabble on Saturday.

*Lpic2**BS*MATCH INFORMATION*BF*
A home win on Saturday will be Dover’s first league victory against Dartford since winning 4-2 in December 2008.

However Whites did record a 3-2 win in November 2009 in the FA Trophy.

Dartford are currently playing in their third consecutive season in the Conference after they achieved promotion via the Conference south play-offs in 2012 defeating Welling United 1-0 in the final.

However last season, the Darts were one of two teams given a reprieve as Hereford United and Salisbury City were demoted following financial troubles which enabled Dartford another stab at the Conference.

Admission for Saturday’s game is £15 for adults, £12 for over 60’s, £6 for under 18’s with under 11’s going for free with a paying adult.
