Walsall put their unbeaten record on the line as they host league leaders Salford City at the Bescot Stadium on Monday night.
The Saddlers are the last remaining undefeated side in League Two following Crewe Alexandra's hammering by Chesterfield on Saturday and Lee Grant's side can climb into second with a victory this evening.
That will be a tall order, however, as they entertain a Salford side that have recovered from a slow start and are now living up to their billing as pre-season title favourites.
Peter Cklamovski's men have won six on the spin in League Two and are unbeaten in their last nine matches, enabling them to open a three-point gap at the summit heading into tonight's contest.
