A good test for Posh to see whether Oldham was a blip for relieved under achieving players or the start of the beginning? 2nd placed Walsall roll into town having won all three of their L1 away matches, scoring 8 & conceding 1  Walsall have lost two of their last three matches (including 2-0 at Morecambe in the JPT) but have won 5 from 7 in L1 with only one defeat, scoring 13 with 4 against. |

Posh host Walsall in Sky Bet League One action at the ABAX Stadium on Saturday (3pm).
Peterborough United entertain high-flying Walsall at the ABAX Stadium on Saturday (3pm) in Sky Bet League One action'
Caretaker manager Grant McCann continues at the helm after a stunning start to life in charge at Oldham Athletic last weekend with Posh running out impressive 5-1 winners at Boundary Park: 'The situation for me hasn't changed. I am preparing the side for this Saturday's game and getting the lads prepared for the visit of a good Walsall side. They play good football so it should be a match that we can look forward to because that is the way I want my sides to play,' McCann said.
Walsall striker Tom Bradshaw is the man in form - he scored twice in the 2-0 win over Doncaster Rovers last weekend and leads the scoring charts. Midfielder Romaine Sawyers is highly-rated and will provide the support for Bradshaw in attack.
The last three meetings between the two sides have ended goal-less but the last time Posh were successful at home against the Saddlers it was a big win - a side including Aaron Davies and Adam Clayton helped Posh to a 4-1 success.

Posh 1 Walsall 1
Michael Bostwick's late penalty helped 10-man Peterborough rescue a draw against second-placed Walsall.
After a first half of few chances, Romaine Sawyers thundered in a 25-yard strike to put the Saddlers ahead.
Posh midfielder Jermaine Anderson was sent off with five minutes left in the second half, having appeared to throw a drinks bottle into the crowd.
But Bostwick denied Walsall the three points by firing in from the spot after he was fouled by keeper Neil Etheridge.
