27 January 2024

Crewe Alexandra will aim to make it five league wins on the spin for the first time since 1995 when they host Salford City today (Saturday, 3pm).

Lee Bell’s side will have an abundance of confidence after their superb start to 2024, and will want to avenge their controversial defeat at Salford earlier in the season.

The Opposition

Salford City sit 20th in Sky Bet League Two but are unbeaten in their last three games. The Ammies have picked up 18 out of the 28 points earned this season away from home.

The Gaffer

Karl Robinson became Manager of Salford City at the start of January. The experienced boss, who has taken charge of MK Dons, Charlton and Oxford United in the past, appears to have made an instant impact.

Fighting Talk

Lee Bell: "It will be an extremely tough game. They are a good team with good players. Karl has gone in and really stamped his mark on the team. We will have to be right at it.”

Karl Robinson: "We believe as a team that we can beat anybody. We will have to be better than what we were on Tuesday if we want to win on Saturday."

Head to Head

Crewe Alexandra and Salford have clashed five times, with the home side winning on each occasion. A Crewe success would make it 3-3 overall.

Match Officials

Stephen Parkinson will be in the middle for Saturday’s clash. Kevin Howick and Ollie Williams will be his assistants and the fourth official will be Marc Edwards.

It will be Parkinson's League Two debut. In his other games lower down the pyramid, he has handed out 54 yellow cards and two red cards in 15 outings.
