League Two weekend preview

Walsall can strengthen their position on another packed weekend in League Two.

Richard Money's Saddlers have a six-point advantage over their nearest rivals and will be looking to bounce back from a shock FA Cup defeat to Macclesfield in midweek when they entertain fellow promotion chasers Notts County.

Second-placed Lincoln travel to Wrexham, while Swindon take on in-form Bury in another stand-out game.

Bristol Rovers and Barnet share the spotlight in Sunday's solitary clash.
