Brighton & HA prepare to entertain Walsall at Withdean Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Seagulls are clearly on top, having won 23 and lost only 9 of the 41 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Withdean Stadium was less than a year ago, in September 2008, with Walsall inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Seagulls in a League One match.
