Match Preview
Bishop doubt for County Notts County midfielder Neal Bishop is doubtful for his side's home clash with Walsall. Bishop, who scored his first goal at Meadow Lane to give County the lead in Sunday's FA Cup clash with Manchester City, is struggling with a leg injury. Fellow midfielders Lewis Gobern and John Spicer were unused substitutes in the 1-1 draw with City and will be vying to start against Walsall if Bishop fails to make it. County manager Paul Ince has no other new injury or suspension woes, but defender Liam Chilvers remains sidelined due to a knee injury. Striker Lee Hughes suffered no reaction in the game against City after recently returning from a calf injury and is expected to start, as is skipper Mike Edwards, who has been nursing a hamstring strain. Meanwhile, Walsall manager Dean Smith could recall goalkeeper Richard Walker for the clash. Walker missed Saturday's 6-1 win over Bristol Rovers due to "family reasons", but is back in contention and could return in place of understudy David Bevan. Defender Manny Smith is also expected to return to the squad after missing out at the weekend with a hamstring strain. Recent loan signing Jason Price from Carlisle is hoping to retain his place up front after making his debut against Rovers, while defender Richard Taundry is pushing for a recall after returning to the bench on Saturday following an ankle injury. Striker Darren Byfield remains sidelined with the knee injury which has kept him out since September. The Saddlers moved off the bottom of the table at the weekend with their first league win in eight matches.

Match Report
Nicholls nets to deny Notts Alex Nicholls scored a late equaliser to earn struggling Walsall a much-needed point in a 1-1 draw that extended Notts County's winless run to four league games. Lee Hughes looked to have got the Magpies' revival back on track when he headed home David Martin's corner in the 64th minute, but with two minutes to go Nicholls grabbed his side a share of the spoils. Hughes had also missed the best chance of the first half when Karl Hawley's square pass was passed on to him by Martin, and the veteran forward scuffed wide. Walsall's Julian Gray flashed a shot inches off target before the first save of the night, when Craig Westcarr out-paced and out-muscled his marker but fired straight at Jimmy Walker. Five minutes after Hughes' goal brought a scrappy second half to life, the Saddlers came agonisingly close to an equaliser. Oliver Lancashire's shot looked to be heading into the far corner, only to miss by a fraction. But with just over a minute of normal time remaining, Walsall counter-attacked and Nicholls ran onto Matthew Richards' throughball and finished with aplomb.
