Walsall face a trip to Brighton & Hove Albion at Withdean Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Saddlers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 23 and win only 9 of the 41 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in September 2008, with Walsall inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Seagulls in a League One match.
