League One Preview: Bees aim to sting Shrews

The Londoners are unbeaten since Mark Warburton replaced Uwe Rosler as manager in December and have won eight of their nine League One fixtures under the new boss.

That sensational run of form has seen them climb to the top of the division, where they hold a two-point advantage over second-placed Leyton Orient, who face a tricky tie at Rotherham United at the weekend.

Phil Parkinson's charges have endured a disappointing couple of months and have not tasted victory since November 23. That triumph was their only win in 17 League One fixtures.

League One's basement club are five points adrift of safety, but might fancy their chances against a Crawley outfit who have just three wins in 17 in all competitions.
