Walsall v Notts County preview

Team news for Tuesday's League One clash between Walsall and Notts County to the Banks's Stadium.

Walsall could hand a debut to teenage midfielder Florent Cuvelier.

The 19-year-old Belgian youth international penned a one-month loan deal from Barclays Premier League club Stoke on Friday and may slot straight into manager Dean Smith's starting XI.

The Saddlers will definitely be without Claude Gnakpa after the 28-year-old French midfielder was released by the club.

Gnakpa has since joined Scottish Premier League side Inverness.

Smith has no injury or suspension concerns as he bids to move his side away from the npower League One relegation zone.

The West Midlands club are only above the final four places on goal difference and would slip below Scunthorpe - the side they face on Saturday - should they lose to the Magpies by a three-goal margin.

Meanwhile, Kieron Freeman comes back into the reckoning for Notts County.

Freeman, on loan from city rivals Nottingham Forest, was ineligible for the FA Cup fourth-round tie against Stevenage on Saturday having already featured in the competition for the Reds in the previous round.

Julian Kelly made a timely return from a calf injury to replace Freeman at full-back at the Lamex Stadium.

Magpies manager Martin Allen must decide whether to recall the Forest teenager or stick with Kelly.

Jonathan Forte made his debut against Stevenage following his arrival on loan from Southampton but the striker was replaced at half-time. It remains to be seen whether Forte will start on Tuesday night or whether Allen will recall Karl Hawley.
