Crewe host high-flying Yeovil for their third match in a week. Yeovil are currently 7th, outside the play-offs only by virtue of goal-difference, despite pre-season predictions that the Glovers would struggle this season. Two wins in their last three games has helped cement their position, whilst Crewe’s failure to win any of their last 5 league games has seen them slip to 16th.
Crewe Team News:
Ben Williams will replace Stuart Tomlinson in what is expected to be Crewe’s only change. Michael Higdon and Luke Rodgers are unwell, whilst fit-again Darren Moss may have to settle for a place on the bench.
Player to watch: Luke Varney
Varney bagged his 14th of the season against Swansea and will be looking to add to that tally tomorrow
Yeovil Team News:
Russell Slade is expected to name an unchanged side though Lee Morris must pass a late fitness test. Marcus Stewart is ineligible, whilst Andy Lindegaard, Paul Terry and Mark Lynch are injured. Anthony Tonkin will have to wait for his first league start since rejoining Yeovil on his return to his former club.
Player to watch: Chris Cohen
The midfielder leads the way with goals and assists for the Glovers this season with 6 and 8 respectively
