Walsall defender Priestley Farquharson scored both goals in the win at Shrewsbury on Saturday.

Walsall host Fleetwood Town at Bescot on Tuesday night, before facing four of the current top seven in succession in the space of just 10 days. 

They ended a seven-match winless run with a 2-1 victory at local rivals Shrewsbury Town thanks to Farquharson's brace. 

That win sent Walsall to within just two points of the play-off places, with games in hand on all but one of the teams above them in the table. 

Key period on the horizon

Walsall face four of the current top seven in their next five fixtures in League Two.
