News and Views

Heading into the match on the back of a quadruple of wins, Darrell Clarke's Saddlers are enjoying a superb spell of form as they sit just below the Play-Off places ahead of kick-off.

Last weekend's win over Port Vale gave us yet another example of the Reds' recently acquired fighting spirit as they battled back from being two-nil down to take all three points.

A brace of braces from defender Dan Scarr and on-loan Bournemouth striker Jake Scrimshaw were enough to see the Saddlers win by four-goals-to-three, extending December's unbeaten run to six games.

Opponents Salford are also enjoying a strong spell of form, losing just one of their last seven League Two outings, including last weekend's clash with Harrogate Town, which saw former Manchester United forward James Wilson grab the game's only goal on the way to a one-nil win.

Man in the Middle

The EFL has confirmed that Lancashire-based Scott Oldham, will be the man in the middle as Walsall look to build Saturday afternoon's narrow victory over Port Vale.

Wayne Grunnill and Abbas Khan have been named as assistant referees, whilst Paul Stonier will act as Fourth Official.
