Crewe Alexandra vs Newport County - Crewe set to name unchanged squad for Newport clash

Crewe boss David Artell is likely to have an unchanged squad for the visit of Newport.

Artell may even name an unchanged team against League Two's bottom club, who sacked Graham Westley on Thursday, after last weekend's surprise 1-0 win against promotion-chasing Portsmouth.

Midfielder Billy Bingham returned to the starting line-up at Fratton Park and linked up well with James Jones in the centre of the pitch.

Jon Guthrie (hernia) and Danny Hollands (hamstring) remain out injured, while Chris Dagnall is still suspended as he completes a three-match ban.

Caretaker Newport boss Mike Flynn is likely to make changes.

Midfielders Mark Randall and Ben Tozer were both out of favour under Westley, but Flynn could consider them, with the Exiles 11 points from safety.

Loan signing Josh Sheehan has played his final Newport game as he has returned to parent club Swansea after suffering an unspecified season-ending injury.

On-loan West Ham forward Jaanai Gordon is available after a one-game ban, but long-term absentees Lennell John-Lewis and Jamie Turley remain out.
