Crewe Alexandra aim to extend their unbeaten streak when they visit Swindon Town in League Two this Saturday. The fixture at the County Ground, kicking off at 12:30, offers a chance for Lee Bell's side to solidify their strong start to the season.
Unbeaten run continues
Crewe's form has been a model of consistency. They sit third in the table with 15 points from nine games, just one point behind the leaders. Their recent results show a team hard to beat, with two wins and three draws in their last five outings across all competitions. The latest was a dramatic 2-2 draw away at Blackpool in the EFL Trophy last Tuesday, where Charlie McNeill scored a late penalty.
That result followed a convincing 3-1 league victory over Bristol Rovers, with Jack Lankester scoring twice. The team's defensive record is also strong, having conceded only seven goals in the league so far.
Swindon's struggles
Swindon Town present a different challenge, currently positioned 13th and seeking a first win in five matches. Their last outing was a narrow 1-0 defeat away to Rochdale. Their last starting lineup featured Conor Ripley in goal and a strike partnership of Aaron Drinan and Antwoine Hackford.
Team news and context
Crewe are expected to field a strong side as they look to keep pace at the top. Their last starting eleven included Tom Booth in goal, with a back four of Stan Dancey, Luke Offord, Tom Graves and Kyle Ure. Joel Tabiner and Josh March have been key creative forces, with March the club's top scorer this season with 11 goals. Fans can check the latest squad information for all player details.
This match is the next step in a busy period. After this trip to Wiltshire, Crewe's attention will turn to their upcoming fixtures. A positive result would keep the momentum firmly with a side that has not lost since August.
