Walsall fans are beginning to travel away in hope rather than despair after Colin Lee at last sorted out our away day blues. The Saddlers have a great chance of extending their unbeaten away run to three when they visit Deepdale tomorrow. Preston v Saddlers Big Match Preview

WFC team news

Ian Roper sits out the second match of his two game suspension. Danny Hay (shoulder) and Fitzroy Simpson (thigh) are still out but Darren Wrack should return to the squad after missing Saturday’s victory over Burnley due to illness. However, Lee will probably stick with the same eleven who triumphed over the Clarets.

Preston team news

David Lucas will replace Jonathan Gould in goal after the Scot injured his groin in Saturday’s defeat to Leicester City. Joe O’Neill is still out after an Achilles operation as are Mark Wright (hip) and star striker Ricardo Fuller (knee).

Verdict

Walsall seemed to have at last solved their travel sickness and have picked up four points from their last two road trips. Buoyed by Saturday’s victory over Burnley, expect the Saddlers to return with at least a share of the spoils.

Prediction North End 1-1 Walsall
