Dartford boss Tony Burman hopes Wrexham minds are already on their FA Cup tie at Premier League Stoke.

Darts head to north Wales on Saturday (3pm) looking for their first Vanarama Conference win in six games.

Mid-table Wrexham were expected to challenge for promotion but have won only once in 12 matches. They are, however, flying in the FA Cup with a third-round tie at Stoke to come next month.

Burman said: "Our expectation is to try and stay in the league, whereas Wrexham’s is to win it – that’s the difference between the clubs.

"Unfortunately they’re in mid-table but it takes time with a new manager. I’m sure Kevin Wilkin will get things right, although hopefully not on Saturday.

"I hope they are thinking about the Stoke game and that everything goes wrong for them against us.

"But I know the manager, he’s a professional guy and he will want them to concentrate on the league."

Darts, may have striker Harry Crawford (groin) available while defender Mat Mitchel-King (dead leg) should be fit.
