Merse is facing a fitness test tomorrow after picking up an injury in training on Thursday. Here is all the team news for tomorrow.

The team news for tomorrows clash with Sunderland is as follows

Walsall – Samways serves the final game of his suspension, Osborn set to deputise. Wrack is available for selection after recovering from his calf injury. Ian Roper is getting stronger and could feature. New signing Vincent sure to play some part in the game Merson in late battle to be fit for the game after picking up a groin strain in training. .

Sunderland – Sunderlands Tommy Smith could make his first start following if Butler fails fitness test. The only other bit of news from the Black Cats camp is that Julio Arca is struggling with injury and is rated as doubtful. .

Verdict - Big club, big stadium, tough challenge. If there was one away game you wouldn’t expect the first away win to come at it would be this one. Can we really expect to take all three points away from the Stadium of light?.

Prediction: Sunderland 2-0 Walsall
