TEAM NEWS

Crewe striker Clayton Donaldson has been suffering with ankle and knee problems and faces a late fitness test.

Shaun Miller and AJ Leitch-Smith are ready to deputise in attack if Donaldson fails to recover in time.
Aldershot will welcome back defender Jamie Vincent, who has completed a one-match ban.
Striker Marlon Jackson has extended his loan spell and should start, but midfielder John Halls begins a three-match ban after his red card last week.

Crewe midfielder Luke Murphy told BBC Radio Stoke:

"I've been here a long time but I've not been in the first team that long, I feel I belong there now.
"We're ten unbeaten, that's pretty incredible really so everyone's full of confidence and very optimistic.
"It'll be a good game, a passing game which suits us but we're not after a draw."
Aldershot manager Kevin Dillon told BBC Surrey:
"Crewe will be an exciting game because they score a lot of goals and we don't concede many. We'll see who's better.

"I like Dario Gradi and the way he plays football. He always wants to score one more than the opposition. It's a tight pitch and we'll have to be on our toes.
"It's a key game because it will tell us where we are. You've got the six above us, Crewe and Bradford. Those are the teams that will be up there at the end of the season.
