Walsall play host to Barnet at Bescot Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. All the previous meetings between the two have been won by the Saddlers.

The last time the two teams met at Walsall was back in December 2000, over five years ago, the Saddlers carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a F.A. Cup match.
