Cambridge United vs Crawley Town preview - Same again for Cambridge

Posted Friday, August 21, 2015 by PA

Unbeaten Cambridge will be expected to pick from the same players that won at AFC Wimbledon in midweek when winless Crawley visit.

Defender Josh Coulson was withdrawn after 31 minutes at Kingsmeadow as winger Harrison Dunk was sent on in a change of formation which boss Richard Money could continue with on Saturday.

The U's will be eager to maintain their form on home soil after three successive away matches and Jordan Slew, who came on at half-time, could start up front alongside Barry Corr, who has made a fine start to his Cambridge career with five goals in three games.

Leon Legge returned in defence after a two-match absence to score in the win, which means Money's men have two wins and a draw from three League Two games.

Crawley manager Mark Yates will hope to patch his side up for the trip.

Yates said midfielders Jimmy Smith and Luke Rooney were the most notable of several players who played despite knocks or strains against Portsmouth on Tuesday.

Another midfielder, Conor Henderson, remains doubtful after three games out with an ankle injury.

Defender Lanre Oyebanjo and forward Gavin Tomlin are long-term absentees while striker Izale McLeod seems unlikely to feature with uncertainty still surrounding his future.
