Dario Gradi is forced into several changes to his side to face Blackpool this afternoon.
Both the Alex's new loan signings make their Crewe debuts as Andy Taylor comes in at left back and Isaac Osbourne in central midfield, where he partners Ben Rix who is recalled to the side.
Gary Roberts (suspended) and Michael O'Connor (injured) both drop out of the team, whilst Taylor's inclusion sees Danny O'Donnell drop to the bench with David Vaughan pushing into midfield.
In attack Rodney Jack starts with Ryan Lowe missing out. Christopher Flynn is named on the substitutes bench.
Blackpool meanwhile make just one change as Stoke City defender Carl Dickinson makes his Blackpool debut. The loan signing replaces the injured Danny Coid.
