Newcastle United attacker Brad Inman struck the winner for Crewe against Preston North End.
Inman struck the only goal of the game.
Alex boss Steve Davis: "Brad is a good finisher and he gets into good positions. When he does, everyone thinks he is going to score. We've missed him and having him back is a big boost for Wembley.
"I have seen some great performances and we go away in a positive frame of mind before I pick the squad."
