Gillingham host Crewe in League Two. Crewe have been the tidier side in the league this season, while Gillingham's results have swung between good wins and heavy defeats.
The two clubs have met plenty of times down the years, and recent meetings have gone both ways rather than favouring one side. That leaves a fair bit to work through before kickoff.

Gillingham's equivalent sample shows nine wins, five draws and six defeats, with 29 scored and 26 conceded, a touch more uneven than Crewe's numbers.
Crewe's numbers look the steadier of the two, though both samples blend league games with cup and friendly fixtures.

Where they stand in League Two
In the league itself, Crewe sit third with 21 points from 11 games, built on five wins and six draws without a single defeat.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Barnet | 9 | 6 | 3 | 0 | 22/12 | 21 |
| 3 | Crewe | 11 | 5 | 6 | 0 | 15/9 | 21 |
| 4 | York | 10 | 4 | 4 | 2 | 18/12 | 16 |
| 5 | Walsall | 10 | 3 | 7 | 0 | 13/7 | 16 |
| 6 | Gillingham | 11 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 16/13 | 16 |
| 7 | Chesterfield | 11 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 17/15 | 15 |
Gillingham are back in sixth on 16 points, having won four, drawn four and lost three of their 11 league matches.
Crewe's unbeaten league record stands out more than the position itself.

Players and discipline to watch
J. March has been Crewe's most reliable finisher recently with three goals in eight appearances, while J. Brophy has matched that tally for Gillingham over the same number of games.
On the disciplinary side, Gillingham's R. McKenzie has picked up four yellow cards in eight matches, and Z. Albarus was sent off in his only game in the sample, worth noting without reading too much into one incident.

Without a market to assess, we're not in a position to put forward a selection here. Crewe's league form looks the stronger of the two right now, but Gillingham have shown they can turn results around at home.
Worth revisiting closer to kickoff once team news and markets are clearer.
