Match Preview
Alex waiting on Artell Crewe will continue to monitor captain David Artell as they prepare to host Crawley. Artell underwent an injection to ease his persistent Achilles problem this week and is hoping to retain his place at centre-back. Fellow defender Ashley Westwood is back in contention after serving the final game of a three-match suspension when the Railwaymen drew 1-1 at Northampton last weekend. Luke Murphy is set to add to boss Steve Davis' midfield options after returning to fitness. Murphy was initially ruled out of the win over Hereford in Alex's last outing at Gresty Road and a knock to his knee meant his recovery did not progress sufficiently enough to be included at Sixfields. Leaders Crawley will be unchanged. Boss Steve Evans has no injury worries and will name the same team which thumped Burton 3-0 last weekend to move three points clear at the top. Town's form is so good - they have won their last five matches and are unbeaten in 14 - that club captain Pablo Mills cannot break into the side and will be on the bench once again. Evans will have to make a change for their next game against Gillingham on Boxing Day, though, as midfielder Andy Drury plays the last match of his three-month loan spell from Ipswich on Saturday. Drury has yet to taste defeat in 14 appearances for Crawley, who want to sign him permanently in January.

Match Report
Ten-man Alex hold league leaders Matt Tubbs netted his 15th goal of the season to secure a 1-1 draw for leaders Crawley against a resilient Crewe side who played 75 minutes with 10 men. Wes Fletcher had put the home side ahead after just nine minutes before Shaun Miller was given his marching orders with just 15 minutes on the clock, but Tubbs ensured Town stretched their unbeaten run to 15 games. Crewe had flew out of the blocks, Byron Moore and Miller both testing Crawley goalkeeper Scott Shearer with early efforts before Fletcher headed the Alex in front. Miller should have doubled the lead moments later but fluffed his header at the far post when Powell swung in the perfect free-kick. Miller's afternoon was cut short soon after when referee Stuart Attwell showed the youngster a straight red after going in over the top in a 50-50 challenge with Sergio Torres. Crawley took control and Tubbs headed home Andy Drury's cross to level in the 31st minute. Alex `keeper Steve Phillips had to produce two superb saves to keep out headers from Tubbs and Torres while the former also nodded another effort inches wide. Attwell fell further out of favour with the home crowd when he awarded a free-kick rather than a penalty after Pablo Mills tripped Moore in the box. The under-pressure referee then suffered more abuse from the home crowd after waving away appeals for another penalty when Moore's goalbound shot was clearly handled in the box. Crawley offered little in attack late on as the Alex's 10 men held on for a deserved point.
