As necessary, correlate crosswind with direction of forward slip and transition to side slip before touchdown.
Bottom line
The two primary methods, crab and wing-low, are typically used in conjunction with each other. Prior to touchdown, the transition to a sideslip is made with the upwind wing lowered and opposite rudder applied to prevent a turn. Prior to touchdown, the longitudinal axis should be aligned with the runway centerline to avoid landing gear side loads.
