Ant Gerrard kept his place in the Saddlers line-up this afternoon and admitted he was in the wrong to question Paul Merson’s selection before the Bournemouth game. Gerrard revealed he apologised to Merson after the spat on the touchline, and he lined up alongside Chris Westwood this afternoon. Both Fox and Staunton were ruled out. With Wrack effectively replacing Bennett we will have to see how the formation pans out! Looks for all the world on paper like 4-3-1-2 (n0 I’m not kidding), but who knows.

Saddlers line up.
Oakes, Pead, Taylor, Gerrard, Westwood, Osborn, Standing, Merson, Fryatt, Leitao, Wrack.
Subs Gilmartin, Kinsella, Roper, Wright, Larossa.

Swindon are unchanged from the defeat at Tranmere, so presumabley stay 4-5-1 and are looking for a 0-0.
