Kidderminster Harriers manager Steve Burr is expecting a battle of two sides at the top of their game when they make the trip to Wrexham.

Harriers go to the Racecourse Ground tomorrow on the back of five games unbeaten, with four wins, since losing 3-2 at home to Gateshead on the opening day of the season.

But unbeaten Wrexham are even more on fire ahead of the game, having reeled off five straight wins since opening their campaign with a draw against Cambridge.

Two of the Blue Square Premier's form teams now meet in an early top-of-the-table clash and Burr is expecting fireworks in Wales.

He said: "I can't ask for anymore, away from home, than what we have had so far this season.

"Wrexham are top of the league, at the moment, but we go there full of confidence, as we are in good spirits ourselves.

"They have had a good start and they will want to maintain that, as well as we do."

Harriers have faced both of the fallen Football League clubs, Lincoln and Stockport, in their first six games and beat the Imps at Sincil Bank, before taking a home draw with the Hatters.

The new-boys are currently finding life tough at non-league level and Burr has warned it's unlikely to get any easier.

He said: "It's just as tough, it gets tougher every year and it's going to be just as hard again this season.

"You look at the clubs still in this division, they are finding it very hard to get out of it."
