“These are the games that we want to be involved in.
“We know from the outside it will be documented as probably one of the biggest games in the English football pyramid this weekend, but for us nothing changes.
“The lads have been incredible, but all that matters is that come the final whistle we’re top of the league.”
This is the second time in the past four seasons that two teams in the National League have accumulated over 100 points after Wrexham and Notts County both achieved the feat in 2022-23. The Welsh side won the title with 111 points and Notts County went up through the play-offs, having finished on 107.
