Crewe could be unchanged from beating Charlton last time out. Despite the 4-1 defeat at Liverpool on Sunday, Steve Cotterill could stick with an unchanged XI for the third game in a row.
Crewe looked dead and buried less than a month ago, but nine points from a possible 15 available has boosted their survival hopes quite significantly. The home side could end the weekend within one point of safety if they record consecutive League One wins for the first time all season. Shrewsbury were also in deep trouble heading into December, but a near-perfect festive period, which has included 10 points from four games and four clean sheets in the process, has seen them move clear of danger. The Shrews beat Fleetwood in their last away fixture, but that remains their only victory on their travels all season. 1:1
