Walsall Football Club, first-team manager Dean Smith has today looked ahead to Wednesday's pre-season friendly which will see the Saddlers play host to newly promoted Premier League side Leicester City.Speaking to saddlers.co.uk, Dean said; “We are delighted to play host to a Leicester City side who will be in buoyant mood following their promotion into the Premier League at the end of last season. As such we look forward to a good challenge.
“We are pleased with where we are at in pre season at the moment; the players have worked hard and have been playing a lot of minutes in a fatigued state. We are starting to cut back on the physical side of things in training to have us ready for August 9th.
“In the games we’ve played so far, we’ve been able to look at various systems and formations and cast our eye over a number of players.
“Wednesday’s game will be another good gauge for us against quality opposition, and it’s a test that we face with relish and determination.”
Tickets cost £12 (adults) and £6 (concessions) for all areas of the stadium.
