Following Tuesday morning's Capital One Cup Round 1 draw witch paired Walsall with Nottingham Forest, the people behind the BBC Sport website have selected some key fixtures to look out for, and have selected the Saddlers' City Ground trip as one to watch.

BBC Radio WM's Mike Taylor spoke to the website, and discussed the Saddlers' recent run of results against Forest which has seen them go eleven games without tasting defeat, he said; "Players and managers come and go, so why should historic results between clubs matter? And yet we all love a good footballing hoodoo, so this draw will put Walsall fans in good heart.

"The clubs haven't met for a while but, between 2001 and 2008, the Saddlers were unbeaten in 11 meetings with Forest, winning seven. There were some special performances among them too.

"We can't yet be sure what the Walsall team will look like in August, but no doubt manager Dean Smith will be keen to aim for the same style of play as in recent seasons.

"They've often looked more comfortable against better teams, so there's every reason for the Saddlers to travel with optimism."
