Crewe are a tough nut to crack, unbeaten in 10 with four clean sheets and just seven conceded.

Tom Booth may be the league’s best keeper, while Brentford loanee Josh Stephenson has been excellent at centre-half. Reece Hutchinson is also back fit, a huge boost at both ends of the pitch.

Rochdale are unbeaten in five but created fewer than 1 xG in three. With the league’s worst xG per game, they could struggle to break down a solid Crewe side.
