Walsall will be feeling more than hopefull that they can repeat last weeks performance against Charlton.
At the same time Saints will be hoping for an improvement on their last performance.
Jose Fonte will almost certainly be recalled after his suspension. Chaplow and Richardson will hopefully be included as well with Martin a possible addition as well.
Adam has been the best and most consistant performer so far this season and I will be surprised if he doesn’t prove to be on top his game this week.
Macken and Reid will be hoping for a recall after missing out last week. Captain Byefield remains a long-term casualty.
Olly Lancashire could well line up against his former team mates.
Olly knows a few of our players and could easily be facing one of his friends from our team, Adam Lallana.
walsall have not fared that well against Saints.
At home they have wone 2, drawn 2, lost4. Last season they lost to us 3-1.
Mr D Whitestone officiates
Mr M Jones & Mr A Parker assist.
Mr A Horton is 4th official.
Even allowing for last weeks results I go for 1-3.
