Crewe Alex. travel to take on Northampton Town at Sixfields on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Railwaymen will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 14 and win only 6 of the 27 games.
The last time the two teams met at Northampton was just over four years ago, in August 2002, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Division Two match.
