Newport County return to league action as they travel to Mornflake Stadium to take on Crewe Alexandra in matchday 15.
Following on from reaching the next round in the FA Cup the Exiles look to carry on from their last performance in the league against Chesterfield.
Here's everything you need to know about our opponents.
The Opposition
So far this season, the opposition has had a strong start currently joint on points with Walsall in the automatic position.
In the FA Cup they have also progressed to the next round and in a similar matter have exited the Jersey Mike's Trophy after playing five days ago losing to Wigan Athletic and being knocked out.
Last season they managed a mid-table finish, as they placed 11th on 67 points under Lee Bell going through a campaign of highs and lows.
Last season when the two clubs faced off against each other, County finished unbeaten, drawing the first game at the Mornflake stadium and at home won 2-0.
The History
Crewe Alexandra was formed in 1877 by local railway workers from the Crewe Alexandra Cricket Club who wanted a sport to play over the winter.
They are nicknamed "The Railwaymen" due to the town's rail industry which has been based at Gresty Road since 1906.
In their early history they reached the FA Cup semi-finals in 1888 and became a founding member of the Football League Second Division in 1892.
After splitting from the cricket club and navigating lower-league movements, they joined the third Division north in 1921 and claimed Welsh Cup titles in 1936 and 1937.
Ex Manager Dario Gradi spent 24 years at the club transforming them into a youth-focused team that managed to produce players like David Platt, Danny Murphy, Robbie Savage, Neil Lennon, and Dean Ashton.
Over the past 20 years, Crewe Alexandra has largely become a yo-yo club between EFL League One and EFL League Two, as they have suffered multiple relegations alongside promotions in the 2011–12 and 2019–20.
And in 2013 the club secured Football League Trophy silverware (known at the time as the Johnstone's Paint Trophy) whilst maintaining its reputation for developing homegrown academy talent.
The Manager
Lee Bell is the current manager after being appointed in December 2022 after a successful stint as the interim manager over the month of November.
Before entering management, Bell was a successful player who played for the likes of Crewe Alexandra, Burton Albion, and Macclesfield Town among others.
In 2015, Bell retired from playing, aged 32, and rejoined Crewe as their under-18s coach later becoming under-18s manager in January 2017.
He then carried on going up the chain and in March 2022 he became the under-23s manager, then later in the year became the first team assistant manager.
And eventually in December 2022 he became the first team manager taking over from Alex Morris and has led his team in more than 200 fixtures.
So far in his stint as the first team manager, he has led them to the 2024 EFL League Two play-off final at Wembley and has set an all-time club record for the longest unbeaten start to a league season.
Ones To Watch
Jordan Gibson so far this season is Crewe Alexandra’s leading goalscorer with five goals and two assists in 14 appearances during this season's League Two campaign.
Gibson joined this season on a free transfer from Doncaster Rovers and has become a key player for the Railwaymen and is one of the key reasons for their positive start this season.
Luke Offord has been a constant figure at the back contributing to their sturdy defence where they have got four clean sheets and only conceded 17 goals so far this campaign.
