Stoke City will visit The Mornflake Stadium for a pre-season friendly on Wednesday 23 July, the same date as last year when The Alex lost 2-1, despite a stunning opening goal from Max Sanders (Ryan Parker).

It will be a third friendly with Crewe Alexandra in five years, and a key warm-up game for two sides, each with promotion ambition for the coming campaign.

Stoke will bring a strong squad to South Cheshire to face Lee Bell's men, and the fixture is sure to prove popular with both sets of supporters.

Ticket details will be released in due course.
