Team News: Walsall
Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Walsall manager Mat Sadler to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed group of players. George Hall (unknown injury) is out of contention.

Prediction
Our feeling is that Walsall will most probably be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.
At the same time, Harrogate Town could well find it tough finding the net themselves but we do fancy them hitting back at some stage, too.
Weโre therefore expecting to see a fairly comfortable 3-1 margin for Walsall after 90 minutes.
