EFL Cup: Blackburn v Walsall - Match preview
Walsall travel to Lancashire for the second time in their nascent season when they face Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.
The Saddlers will kick-off their EFL Cup campaign tonight with a first round tie against the Championship outfit.
Mat Sadler began his tenure as Walsall manager with a 2-1 defeat in their League Two opener against Morecambe at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium.
While the result was a disappointment, Sadler was encouraged by the second-half performance, and believes his players have an ideal opportunity to show the best of themselves against Blackburn.
“It’s a great opportunity for us to show what we’re about,” Sadler said. “The players are absolutely gutted after conceding so late but sometimes that is part of the journey. It’s not something you want to get used to. But sometimes you have to face it in order to get better.
“As a player you always look forward to playing and they go into that looking to making amends on Tuesday night.
