The pair have trained this week after just missing the cut for the Saddlers' 1-1 draw against local rivals Shrewsbury Town at Bescot. 

Okeke has recovered from the back issue he picked up at Gateshead in the FA Cup, which forced him to miss the last two matches. 

Pressley had not featured since a 2-0 home defeat against Colchester United on November 15, after spending over a month on the side lines with a hamstring issue. 

Pressley and Okeke back for Saturday 

Walsall striker Aaron Pressley has scored eight of his nine penalties at senior level.
Pressley has scored four goals in 17 games for Walsall this term.

"Aaron is back, Jid will be back. They have both been back in training and have trained really well," boss Sadler confirmed.
