CREWE ALEXANDRA Ground: Gresty Road.

Nickname: Railwaymen.

Manager: Dario Gradi.

Current position: 16th.

Last time out: Crystal Palace 1, Crewe 0.

How they lined up: Bankole; Wright, Macauley, Foster, Smith; Lunt, Sorvel, Street (sub Navarro); Jack, Ashton, Rivers.

Last six results: Crystal Palace 1, Crewe 0; Crewe 1, Portsmouth 0; Crewe 1, Nottm Forest 0; Birmingham 2, Crewe 0; Crewe 1, Sheffield Utd 0; Crewe 3, Tranmere 1.

Top scorer: Mark Rivers - 9.

Danger man: Rodney Jack is doubtful after picking up an injury at Palace. Good news if he doesn't make it, considering the fact that the vertically challenged St Vincent striker has been a big thorn in Wanderers' side in past meetings.

Earlier this season: Leading 3-1 at half time with goals from Per Frandsen, Ian Marshall and Gudni Bergsson, Wanderers went on to record what was then their biggest league win of the season with Kevin Nolan's late goal making the final score 4-1. The win took Wanderers into second place in the table - a position they held for 16 weeks before being overtaken by Blackburn last weekend.

Form report: Dario Gradi's determination to get Jack fit to face Wanderers shows how much importance he's attaching to all eight remaining fixtures. They might have won four of their last six games to haul themselves clear of the relegation zone but the manager insists they are not out of the woods yet.
