LINE UPS: Skipper Taylor returns for Pool

The left back comes into the side to replace Jack Payne, who drops to the bench.

Colin Daniel, meanwhile, will play in midfield after playing the last two games in a left wing-back role.

In other news, Blackpool have snapped up free agent Ian Black following his release by Shrewsbury Town last month, which bolsters their options in midfield following recent injuries to Jim McAlister and Neil Danns.

Meanwhile Crewe, who have won their last two games against Grimsby and Wycombe respectively, have made one change.
