Carlisle United Preview

Carlisle United Predicted Line-up - Gabriel Breeze; Jon Mellish, Samuel Lavelle, Aaron Hayden; Harrison Neal, Cameron Harper, Callum Anthony Guy, Dylan McGeouch, Kadeem Harris, Daniel Adu-Adjei, Dominic Sadi

Mike Williamson hasn’t quite had the impact in League Two fans would’ve expected, be that at MK Dons or Carlisle.

That being said, Carlisle do appear to have a bit more fight in them in recent weeks.

Samuel Lavalle has looked a goal threat from defence this season.

Crewe Alexandra Preview

Crewe Alexandra Predicted Line-up - Filip Marschall; Zac Williams, Mickey Demetriou, James Connoly; Max Conway, Joel Tabiner, Max Sanders, Matus Holicek, Ryan Cooney; Shilow Tracey, Omar Bogle

Crewe Alexandra have really come into their own in recent weeks, and look serious contenders for promotion this year.

They impressively drew with Darren Moore’s Port Vale last time out.

Shilow Tracey has looked lethal upfront this season, he’s scored five goals already.
