The match will see the Saddlers look to get back to winning ways having been unable to secure victory in any of their last five all-competition outings, the run stretching back to the Emirates FA Cup meeting with this weekend's opponents, a match which Walsall won 3-2.
With the Saddlers currently sitting 13th in League One they need to return to winning ways soon if they are to edge closer to the Play-Off places and avoid another season of struggle towards the foot of the table.
Meanwhile City, who brought a similar number of fans to the Banks's for their recent FA Cup defeat, are ninth in the league and looking to bounce back from last weekend's three-nil defeat to Fleetwood Town.
