Line up analyse
SUFC
In my opinion, Betsy will replace Francis because of his winning goal on Saturday vs Tranmere. The rest of the team will stay the same.
Crewe
Welcome back Steve Collis to Roots Hall, our former shot-stopper made several appearances last season, his first against Crewe. However, Steve will be on the bench today as he has been for half the season due to his shocking form.

Dan Dave's ones to watch
SUFC
Theo Robinson will be hoping to net a few goals tonight, as he has mentioned in The Echo.
Kevin Betsy will be keen to impress again after his super-sub vs Tranmere
Crewe
None. They're all rubbish
