Crewe Alexandra will travel to Lancashire for the second time in four days at they face Morecambe this evening (Tuesday, 7.45pm).
Lee Bell’s side have picked up back-to-back goalless draws on the road, but will want a maximum return against a rival for the Play-Off positions.
The Opposition
Morecambe sit 10th in the table and are one of the many teams fighting to get into the top seven.
The Shrimps have won two out of their last five games in the league, beating Barrow and Accrington. And they won 3-2 at Mornflake Stadium last month.
The Gaffer
Ged Brannan stepped up from the backroom staff to take over as Morecambe boss in late November after the sacking of Derek Adams.
Brannan played for the Shrimps during a career which also took him to Manchester City, Wigan Athletic and Accrington Stanley.
Fighting Talk
Lee Bell: “We have to put a game plan together, and go there and try to get three points”
Ged Brennan: “I’m quite happy about it, it’s a chance to put things right. It will be a tough game, but we have to dust ourselves down and go again."
Head-to-Head
Crewe have won most clashes between the two teams, with nine victories. Morecambe have won five games and the remaining three games have been draws.
A recent Alex victory over the Shrimps came in December 2021. Chris Porter and Luke Murphy were on target in a 2-1 win.
Match Officials
Scott Oldham is the man in charge of tonight’s match. Kelvin Mulraine and Matthew Sowerby will be his assistants. Steven Rushton will be the fourth official.
Oldham has refereed the Alex twice this season in cup ties against Sunderland and the first game against Derby County. In 30 matches this season he has handed out 93 yellow cards and six red cards.
