It's back to the bread butter for both sides this weekend as the league program resumes. Carl Robinson is in line to make his Saddlers debut and Ray Lewington has a number of defensive selection problems.

Walsall Vs Watford
Competition : Nationwide League Division 1   Date, Time & Location: 22.3.03 - 3.00pm - Bescot Stadium, Walsall
Tickets: The E & S two for a tenner scheme may ensure a gate pushing above 7000, especially when the Hornets have a traditional large away following.
	Directions (Road): You cannot miss the stadium if you travel along the M6. It is just off Junction 9, then the A461 road leads you around to the Stadium. It is well signposted from the Motorway. You can Leave at Junction 10, it takes longer but it is also sign posted. It is a 20 minute walk from the town center, and it is also served by its own Station "Bescot Stadium Station". (Guide to Bescot)
News: O'Connor, Sonner and Simpson are all carrying knocks, but the two latter players are looking better than O'Connor, this means new signing Robinson is inline to make his debut.
News: Defenders Robinson and Cox (Who are both suspended) pose the only major problem for Watford boss Ray Lewington. Their recent financial problems seem to be having no impact on the on field activities as the club push for the play-offs.
one2watch: Jimmy Walkers indifferent form is the cause for concern amongst many Saddlers fans, and we are all hoping that he doesn't have one of his off days against a vibrant Watford side hungry for points.
one2watch: Heider Helguson is the Hornets top scorer, and was brought during their Premiership stint a few years back. He has 10 goals so far this season and is sure to play a big part in their play off push.
The Verdict: It will be a close one, but with Watford's confidence being high after a couple of good cup results only a brave man would bet against an away win. The Walsall forwards have lost the form they had going in to the Festive period and their are no signs of the form coming back.
PREDICTION: The Saddlers 2-3 The Hornets
