John Ward's mid-table Saddlers were most recently in action last week in a match which saw a strong side defeat Grimsby Town by one-goal-to-nil as Ben Kendrick was on hand to give his side the lead mid-way through the second-half.
Hartlepool sit near the foot of the Central League table having lost six of their nine fixtures,and will be keen to get more points on the board as they welcome Walsall to Victoria Park later today.
This afternoon's match will take place at the Pools' Victoria Park ground and is due to kick-off at 1.30pm and we will have updates on our social media channels.
