TEAM NEWS

Conor Henderson (ankle) and Josh Simpson (hamstring) are all still sidelined for Reds but Dean Leacock, who hasn't played since Boxing Day because of groin problems, is back in contention and Kelly Youga is now available following confirmation of his international clearance

Goalkeeper Ben Garratt remains sidelined for Crewe which means they won't have a substitute goalkeeper on the bench as back-up to Paul Rachubka.


Reds have won five out of their last nine while Crewe have only lost twice at home since mid-October and beat Sheffield United for the first time last Saturday.THE FORM GUIDE         


VIEW FROM THE BENCH

: "I have probably seen Crewe more than any team in the country because my lad (Callum) is there. They will try and play good football because that is their way and they have threats up front. It will be another hard game but we feel we can go there and get a result."Dean Saunders


 "All I am interested in is getting as many points as we can from these last seven games. All we want to do is safeguard our League One status and build from there."Steve Davis (Crewe manager, pictured):


DID YOU KNOW?

Crewe striker Nicky Ajose had a loan spell with Reds at the start of the 2012-13 season, scoring three goals.

  

WE’VE MET BEFORE?

This will be the eighth meeting between the teams and Reds have yet to win at Gresty Road. We drew there in 2011 and have lost the two subsequent games 2-0 and 1-0.
