Walsall prepare to entertain Blackpool at Bescot Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Saddlers are clearly on top, having won 12 and lost only 2 of the 19 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Bescot Stadium was just last season, in December 2004, as the Saddlers squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a League One match.
