The Swansea.com Stadium is set for a Welsh Derby on Friday night as rivals Swansea City and Wrexham face each other for the first time since 2003.

How to watch the game: The all Welsh clash takes place in the Championship at 20:00 GMT and will be shown live on Sky Sports Football.

Swansea head into the fixture still looking over their shoulder in the relegation battle, with just four points separating them from the bottom three.

A recent upturn in form has lifted confidence around the club, and victory on Friday would move the Swans to within two points of mid-table Wrexham.

Under head coach Vitor Matos, Swansea arrive in improved spirits after back-to-back home wins. Those victories came against Portsmouth and Oxford, both secured with clean sheets, providing much needed stability after a difficult period earlier in the season.

While two wins from five matches may not appear eye catching, it represents progress in the context of Swansea’s campaign. Defensive resilience at home has been particularly encouraging, with the side showing greater organisation and control in recent outings.

There have also been positives to take from defeats away from home. Swansea were beaten 3-2 at West Brom after leading 2-0, while a narrow 2-1 loss at Stoke saw them create a number of chances against one of the division’s more fluent sides.

Wrexham arrive in south Wales with questions surrounding their away form. The visitors have struggled on the road this season and have often relied on fine margins to stay competitive in away fixtures.

With that in mind, this match presents a strong opportunity for Swansea to underline their improvement against a side of similar standing.

In front of a packed home crowd and with momentum building, the Swans will see Friday night as a key chance to move upt the table and ease lingering relegation concerns.
