Northampton arrive at this weekend's match in twenty-second position, two points below the Saddlers and in dire need of a positive result as they look set to drop out of the third tier, despite adding plenty of strength to their squad during the season's transfer windows.
Dean Keates' Saddlers, who have lost six of their last eight league games, are also in dire need of three points as their recently appointed manager looks to keep his hometown club in League One for at least one more season.

The Saddlers lost their most recent outing by one-goal-to-nil as Ryan Yates' second-half header secured the win for his Play-Off chasing Scunthorpe United side and will need to win at least one of their three remaining games if they are to remain in the third tier for the 2018/19 campaign.
This weekend's match, which the club are promoting two special ticket offers as they look to pack the Banks's, will also see over 1,000 local school children be in attendance as the club's Community Programme welcome them to their latest 'School Partners' game.
