Harrogate Town vs Walsall: George Bennett's predicted XI

(3-4-1-2)

Tommy Simkin 

The Stoke City loanee registered his eighth league clean sheet of the campaign in the 1-0 win over Barrow last weekend and has started all but one game for Walsall in League Two. 

David Okagbue 

Okagbue has been in a rich vein of form in recent weeks and has played every league minute since his half-time introduction at Tranmere Rovers in August. 

Harry Williams 

Williams continues to serve as a commanding force in the centre of the back-line and has been instrumental in helping Walsall keep back-to-back clean sheets in the league. 

Taylor Allen 

Allen has scored twice in his last three league outings to extend his season tally to five goals and has not missed a single minute for Walsall over the past 36 league games. 

Ryan Stirk 

Stirk was forced off due to illness in the 56th-minute against Barrow but is expected to be available again as he looks to continue his record of starting every league game this season. 

Connor Barrett 

Only Allen (2,185) has played more minutes than summer signing Barrett (2,149) for Walsall across all competitions this season with the wing-back starting every league game so far. 

Jamie Jellis 

Jellis returned from a calf injury as a second half substitute against Barrow. Jack Earing was handed only his fourth league start in the absence of the injured George Hall and Jellis is poised to be restored to the starting XI with the Birmingham loanee staring at a spell on the side lines.

Liam Gordon 

​​​​The Guyana international has been an ever-present during Sadler's 18 months at the helm and is one of many in good form at the moment.

Nathan Lowe 

The teenager will be eager to add to his formidable tally of 12 goals across all competitions and avoid going three league games without a goal for the first time in Walsall colours. 

Danny Johnson 

Jamille Matt's one-match suspensions opens up a chance for either Danny Johnson or Albert Adomah to stake a claim. Johnson has not started a league game since January but has scored four goals across all competitions - averaging a goal every 83 minutes.
