Crewe Alex. prepare to entertain Burnley at The Alexandra Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Railwaymen are clearly on top, having won 8 and lost only 3 of the 13 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Alexandra Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Championship match.
