Preston NE face a trip to Walsall at Bescot Stadium on Saturday morning, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The North End will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 13 and win only 4 of the 21 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in October 2002, when they fought out a thrilling high-scoring 3 - 3 draw in a League Division One match.
