Crewe Alex. prepare to entertain Southend United at The Alexandra Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 7 of the 14 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 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a League One match.
