Calvin Zola is set to return to the starting line-up for Crewe Alexandra's first ever trip to Stevenage tomorrow. The towering striker has only recently overcome a slight knee injury, which forced him to miss the 7-0 win over Barnet and the Carling Cup defeat to Ipswich Town but he did make his return as a second half substitute in the 1-1 draw with Lincoln last weekend.

Dario Gradi is set to bring Zola back to compete with Stevenage aerially with Joel Grant set to be sacrificed.

Crewe will be without the injured Matt Tootle (hamstring), Carl Martin (shin) and goalkeeper Steve Phillips (shoulder)
