The victory over Cheltenham would overturn the record set in 1952-53, creating it for ten consecutive times in the Valley Parade.
Also, as the promotional race is heading towards a thrilling climax, it will be the 10th victory in 12 matches from New Year's Day to maintain the heat of leader Walsall.
That's what boss Alexander focuses on – not City's chance to make their mark with the best home runs.
“That's not my interest,” he admitted. “This is three points for a team that has been an already difficult opponent for us this season.
“We need to make sure we are focusing on where we want to go at the end of the season, not just one game.
“If we do a lot of good things, we're going to achieve nothing but three points tonight, which is where we have to protect our hearts.”
As a result of a busy recent schedule, injuries are beginning to cloud the problem. Tonight will finish off the sixth consecutive fixture run mid-week, ahead of another long trip to Gillingham on Saturday.
Antoni Salsevic and Romony Kriklo were kicked out before halftime at Salford. Bobby Pointn had a knock since last week, but Jamie Walker and Tayo Adalamora were also involved in the war.
Alex Pattison missed the illness on Saturday, and the city hopes he can recover in time.
Lewis Richards, Tylake Wright and Ciaran Kelly are still missing, and Callum Johnson was left behind as a precaution with tight Achilles over the weekend.
“It's head count,” added Alexander.
“It's a case of injuries that moment, but we'll continue. It's a roll call.”
Second-placed City can bank with passionate support from Valley Parade followers after a scene that followed the successful suspension time on Saturday. Alexander claimed that support played the role.
“They have been doing great things with us for months and the players respond well.
“There was patience on Saturday when we fell 1-0. There was no negativity from our supporters.
“It was constant support, constant belief, constant support, and if you continue to believe, everyone could get their reward.
“Winning gives you a taste of something really good, and you want to do it again. But then you need to understand what it takes to get that sense of victory and there's a lot of effort.
“Players will understand that, but the final scene is absolutely epic and anyone there and at home is bustling with it.
“I think it was the connection that really helped us turn these margins into our paths.”
