History of the Walsall v Leeds United fixture

Leeds face a trip to Walsall at Banks' Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and will hope to continue their unbeaten record at the ground. Most of the previous games have been drawn, but the remainder have resulted in a win for the Whites.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in December 2007, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League One match.
