Paul Warne might be tempted to name an unchanged side from that one that beat Bolton last weekend, although that would see Michael Ihiekwe named on the bench once again. After watching his side lose badly on Tuesday, Daniel Artell could shuffle his pack and hand a rare start to experienced striker Chris Porter, while Oliver Finney is also pushing for a place in the starting XI.
Following some sketchy form in September, Rotherham's victory at Bolton last weekend saw Paul Warne's side get back on track and reclaim their place in the top-six. Despite winning just half of their eight League One matches this season, the Yorkshire outfit are just three points off leaders Wigan and will fancy getting the better of a struggling Crewe outfit here. Alexandra were heading in the right direction, but suffered a setback against Morecambe in midweek, missing the chance to climb out of danger. The visitors have collected just one point from a possible 12 on their travels this term, and have not tasted victory on Rotherham soil for 17 years, meaning a positive result here is unlikely. 2:1
There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 9 of Crewe's last 10 away games (League One). There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 7 of Rotherham's last 8 games (League One). Rotherham have seen over 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches against Crewe in all competitions. Crewe have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 matches against Rotherham in all competitions.
