Walsall prepare to entertain Nottingham Forest at Bescot Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 4 of the 8 previous games, with the Saddlers winning just 3.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Bescot Stadium was two seasons ago, in November 2003, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a League Division One match.
