Team news
New Swansea boss Vitor Matos was happy enough with his side's effort in their 2-1 loss at Stoke so, with no new injuries, is unlikely to make many tweaks.
Wrexham are still missing first-choice wing-backs Issa Kobore and Libby Cacace. Ryan Longman and James McClean may well keep their places, therefore, in Phil Parkinson's 3-5-2 set-up.
They are still without Danny Ward, Andy Cannon, Lewis Brunt, Elliott Lee and Jay Rodriguez.
The stats
Swansea have won both their home games under new boss Matos, 2-0 against Oxford and 1-0 against Portsmouth.
Wrexham are without a win in four, drawing three of those and they are the division's stalemate kings with a high of 10 draws.
There are an average of 8.8 corners per game in the league at the Swansea.com Stadium this season and only Charlton's home games produce fewer (8.4).
Wrexham are without a win in seven away games dating back to a 3-2 success at Norwich in late September.

Prediction
A record of three defeats and two wins under Matos might not sound earth-shattering, but the Portuguese definitely seems to be getting some sort of a tune out of his Swans charges.
Matos has only been at the club a few weeks, but has seen them win both their home games against Oxford and Portsmouth without conceding so much as a single goal.
But arguably more impressive than beating a pair of relegation contenders was last weekend's 2-1 loss at Stoke, one of the Championship's very best sides.
The Swans looked bright in the first half and full of attacking endeavour when going two down, ending up with a corner and shot count far in excess of Stoke's, having also had more of the ball.
There is no doubt they are still in trouble and five points inferior to Wrexham, though the North Walians have hit a rut.
They have gone four without a win, drawing three, and are struggling on the road, where they have failed to win since late September.
Last week's 2-2 draw at home to Watford snapped a seven-game run of games that featured two goals or less.
It seems likely that this fixture, with all the associated rivalry and tension, will be a low scorer.
However, the Dragons' troubles on their travels and hints of an improvement from City suggest the home team may well be worth a nibble.
