Preview

An injury-hit Swindon side were condemned to a 1-0 away defeat against newly promoted Rochdale last weekend as things got even worse for Ian Holloway's side. The Robins have lost five of their last six matches in all competitions.

Crewe Alexandra travel to the County Ground looking to extend their unbeaten start to the League Two campaign. Despite winning just three of their first nine league matches, the Railwaymen occupy an automatic promotion spot.
