Crewe Alex. prepare to entertain Shrewsbury Town at The Alexandra Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 6 of the 15 previous games, with the The Railwaymen winning just 4.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Alexandra Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2010, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a League Two match.
