Crewe Alexandra will secure League One status with a victory over Preston North End in today's clash at Gresty Road, the final game of the season.

Top scorer Chuks Aneke is back for the home team after suspension but only makes the bench, alongside teenage striker Max Clayton, back after five months out with a broken ankle.

Preston, who are already guaranteed a playoff place, have full-back Scott Wiseman back in the starting XI after several weeks out with a knee injury.

The away side will finish third in the table with a win against the Alex, who are battling with Tranmere Rovers, Carlisle United and Notts County to avoid the drop.

Crewe Alexandra: Garratt, Tootle, Guthrie, Grant, Dugdale, Ellis, Turton, Nolan, Ikpeazu, Pogba, Moore
Subs: Phillips, Mellow, Clayton, Leitch-Smith, Ray, Oliver, Aneke

Preston North End: Rudd, Wright, Laird, Welsh, King, Wiseman, Holmes, Kilkenny, Garner, Beavon, Gallagher
Subs: Stuckmann, Keane, Humphrey, Davies, Buchanan, Davies, Browne
