Crewe Alexandra will resume their promotion push when they host Forest Green Rovers this afternoon (Monday, 3pm).
Lee Bell’s men will be looking for maximum return at Mornflake Stadium, after picking up a hard-fought point at Gillingham on Friday.
The Opposition
Forest Green are bottom of League Two and fighting to avoid back-to-back relegations.
They have lost their last three games, including a 3-0 defeat to Stockport County on Friday.
The Gaffer
Steve Cotterill is the third permanent manager at the New Lawn this season after taking over in late January. Before him, David Horseman and Troy Deeney had the reins.
Cotterill has vast experience having previously managed the likes of Burnley, Portsmouth and Stoke City over his 28-year coaching career.
Fighting Talk
Lee Bell: “We have to put a plan together regarding Forest Green, how we are going to stop them and work out who is available on the medical side. It will be an intense game and we have to put a performance on, concentrate on what we are going to do."
Steve Cotterill: “The players need supporting through this. It's very difficult and they are only young men. Let’s hope that we can rest and recuperate and turn them around quickly for a game at Crewe."
Head-to-Head
The two sides have met six times, with Crewe winning three of the meetings. Forest Green have won twice.
The Alex earned three points at The New Lawn earlier in the season, as goals from Christopher Long, Elliot Nevitt and Courtney Baker-Richardson (2) did the damage.
Match Officials
Geoff Eltringham is the man in charge of our Easter Monday clash. Mark Dwyer and Ryan Williams will accompany him as assistanta. Benjamin Speedle will be the fourth official.
Eltringham has handed out 89 yellow cards and two red cards in the 22 games he has taken charge of this season.
