However, at 1:15pm today an EFL referee deemed the pitch at Mornflake Stadium to be unsafe following an inspection.

A statement from Crewe said the pitch had been hit by a “prolonged spell of sub-zero weather conditions this week.”

But the new fixture for the date has already been revealed.

The re-arranged cup tie will be played on Tuesday, December 12, at 7:45pm.

A potential replay for the tie will be carried out on Tuesday, December 19.
