Despite the Tangerines' league troubles, Blackpool have performed well in the EFL Cup and are due to meet Sheffield Wednesday in the third round after knocking out Burton Albion and Blackburn.

Crewe have also been porous defensively so far this term, conceding seven goals in four league matches, but perhaps more concerningly they have only scored twice themselves during this period.

The most recent meeting between these sides saw Blackpool and Crewe draw 1-1 in League One at Bloomfield Road in March 2021.
