The two clubs have met on 35 occasions down the years, with four of the last five meetings coming at Gresty Road.
The first meeting between the two clubs came on Boxing Day 1978, a 1:0 win at Springfield Park with Peter Houghton scoring in front of 7,586. The last meeting came earlier this season at Gresty in the Papa John Trophy, Crewe winning that game 2-0.
Our last league meeting was back in April 2021, we got a great win which went a long way to securing our status in League 1 for this campaign, Joe Dodoo and a Lee Evans penalty sealing a 2:0 victory for the Latics.

It was a good performance as we came from behind to beat Charlton and get three points on the board. Will Keane back following injury and he not only had a good game, but also dispatched a 26th minute penalty to equalise Elliott Lee's early goal for Charlton.
It was a game with some strange decisions, or shall we say 'non-decisions' from the officials and also a very odd performance by the 4th official.
All's well that ends well, a new look Stevie Humphrys on hand to score a 74th minute winner following his introduction off the bench a few minutes earlier.
We have Crewe in town on Tuesday and there is an interesting preview from Stuart Price of The Railwaymen Podcast, Stuart tells us that Crewe are in turmoil, the players are poor, the fans have turned and there could be changes imminent, is this all a ruse to catch us off guard? Sadly, no Crewe are in a rate old state, hopefully they'll get things sorted but fingers crossed it is after Tuesday.
We have a debutante on the podcast for this episode, Emma steps in for Adam who is away on 'other' duties and she makes an excellent member of the team, thanks Emma.
