| Walsall Team News: Danny Sonner (suspended) Zdrilic, O'Connor, Hay (Expected to recover). Expect no change from the 4-4-2 against Milwall. | |
| Sheffield Wednesday Team News: Same Side from the Palace game expected to play | |
| Last Meeting: 9.2.02 (Div 1) Walsall 0-3 Sheffield Wednesday. | |
| Walsall (Lg) Form : LLLLW | |
| Sheffield Wednesday (Lg) Form WDDDD | |
| Walsall League Position: 17th (Div 1 | |
| Sheffield Wednesday Position: 20th (Div 1) | |
| Walsall Man to Watch: David Zdrilic, 3 goals in 2 games, the answer to our goal scoring problems. | |
| Sheffield Wednesday Man to Watch: Leon Knight, On loan from Chelsea. Deadly in front of goal. | |
| The Verdict: Last week was very encouraging. In fact, combine it with the Rotherham game and that's 6 goals in two matches. Last week we got the defensive stability just right. The same kind of meanness in defence, and potency in front of goal should see us pick up points here. But, it is always possible we could revert back to the kind of performance we saw against Bradford and Reading. With the ground being half way back to normal, we will go for a 2-0 till victory, Driller and Jorge. | |
| PREDICTION: Walsall 2-0 Sheffield Wednesday. | |
