When they travel to Gresty Road, Plymouth Argyle will be looking to get back to winning ways after Crewe Alexandra knocked out of the FA Cup in League One on Tuesday with kickoff at 10:45 pm.
Before this match, Crewe Alexandra finds themselves in the relegation zone. Yet eight points separate them from safety; therefore, they face a lot of pressure to pick up three points at home to Swindon Town.
On Tuesday, Crewe Alexandra will look to break a four-game winless streak when they host Morecambe in League One action. David Artell’s squad has allowed opponents just six goals—only Doncaster Rovers have allowed fewer goals this season.
Moreover, Crewe was last in action last Saturday against Gillingham, but they could not secure a result despite dominating the possession.
They did secure a result earlier this season against Plymouth, with Scott Kashket scoring in the third minute to provide the team with the lead, but they could not hang on to that.
Plymouth, meanwhile, is also coming into this game off the back of a defeat. They lost their last league game, but they performed against Chelsea at the weekend in the FA Cup, almost pulling out a victory against defending European champions.
Macaulay Gillesphey scored in the first half, and Chelsea had to fight hard to pull it out on penalties.

Crewe Alexandra Team News
Former England youth international Rekeem Harper recently joined Crewe, and he will be hoping to make his debut for the club on Tuesday night. Johnson missed their most recent game due to injury, which will provide some question marks over him for this one, too.

On Tuesday, Romney Crichlow may be an option for Plymouth since he’s cup-tied for the Chelsea match, but Danny Mayor will hope to hang onto his starting spot.
