West Ham Utd. prepare to entertain Crewe Alexandra at Boleyn Ground on Tuesday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Hammers.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Boleyn Ground was less than a year ago, in March 2004, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-2 thriller, in a League Division One match.
