History of the Walsall v Milton Keynes Dons fixture

Walsall prepare to entertain Milton Keynes Dons at Banks's Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Saddlers are clearly on top, having won 6 and lost only 1 of the 10 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Banks's Stadium was just last season, in November 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a League One match.
