Team News
Paul Hurst, manager of Grimsby Town, will be glad to know that his team is completely fit and ready to play before this game.
Lee Bell, who is in charge of Crewe Alexandra, doesn’t have any concerns about his fitness ahead of this game because his team is completely free of injuries. In light of the disappointing loss to Tranmere over the weekend, Hurst may choose to replace Ryan Taylor in the attack with John McAtee.
George Lloyd’s benching on Saturday may have come as a surprise given that the 23-year-old had scored two goals in his previous three games and could play right wing again.
Crewe striker Courtney Baker-Richardson has only scored one goal in ten 2023 games, so it would not be surprising if he was moved to the bench. However, Bell doesn’t have many good replacements because Elliott Nevitt hasn’t scored since joining the team in January.
