This Saturday Walsall continue to push for a play-off position as they play host to Crawley Town in Sky Bet League One.
This Saturday Walsall continue to push for a play-off position as they play host to Crawley Town in Sky Bet League One.

Walsall will be boosted by the return of captain Andy Butler who missed the Saddlers' last league game with a suspension. Ben Purkiss is set to return to the bench as James Chambers takes his position at right-back. Andy Taylor remains sidelined with a knee injury.

The Saddlers, who are 7th in League One, go into the game on the back of a 0-0 draw with Peterborough United, and have won just one of their last five, as they continue their push for a play-off position.

Crawley, who are currently 19th in the league, have had a strange start to 2014, 
the Red Devils have had their last five matches postponed and have not played since the 2-2 draw at Rotherham on 25th January, they have as many as seven games in-hand over many other sides in the league.

Crawley Town could include striker Rory Fallon after the New Zealand international joined on a deal until the end of the season.

Loan duo Hiram Boateng and Sullay Kaikai are also awaiting debuts, while Dannie Bulman is back in training after recovering from a fractured cheekbone.

In-terms of head-to-head, it's all-square between the two with just three meetings, all have resulted in a draw.

This weekends referee is scheduled to be Kevin Wright who is based in Cambridgeshire, he has officiated over fifteen games this season, where he has issued forty-five yellow and two red cards, he has also awarded two penalties.


Mark Russell and Grant Taylor are scheduled to be running the lines, whilst John Law will be Fourth Official.
