Joey Barton's side are currently six points above John Yems' men in ninth and beat Crawley 1-0 in the reverse fixture in September.

So what should Crawley look out for tonight? This is what Jordan had to say.

Key player?

I’d have to go Antony Evans, who won’t be playing at this level come the end of the season, with or without Rovers.

Evans after his release from German second tier side Paderborn, is a player that has a moment of magic in his locker. You only have to see his goal against Barrow last week to see his quality. The 23-year-old has 15 goal contributions this season with eight goals and seven assists, mainly as a central attacking midfielder.

One thing that may hold him back though is he was playing in a deeper role in the last two games to accommodate Newcastle United loanee Elliot Anderson. Against Newport he didn’t make his mark and was subbed after the hour mark.

Strengths?

I’d say Bristol Rovers are a team that love to attack teams and with how they line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and they’ve got players that can cause some damage.

As mentioned, Evans has the ability to win games on his own with goals right from the top draw.

Anderson, nicknamed ‘Billy Elliot’ is a teenager from Newcastle who has the ability to influence games too.
