Crewe Alexandra boss David Artell says the busy Christmas period provides the perfect opportunity for the club to move up the League Two table. The Railwaymen host Swindon Town tomorrow and will be aiming to build on the three points obtained against Crawley Town last time out.

Ahead of our home game against Swindon, Artell told us: “If we lose the next four then we are right back in it. If we win the next four then we will quickly move up the table and be looking upwards for the second half of the season.

“Football can change very quickly and we know how important the Christmas period can be. We have three points in the bag from the Crawley game, so it is a good start and something to build on.”
