WALSALL boss Colin Lee believes his side still needs three wins to be sure of maintaining their first division status.
Most people believe that the relegation battle is now down to three from four of Brighton, Sheffield Wednesday, Stoke and Grimsby but the magical 50 point mark is still very much the target for the Saddlers.
They are currently 10 points from that mark but still smarting from a 2-1 home defeat against Millwall last week.
Last Saturday, Lee opted to play a similar formation to that used in recent weeks by Stan Ternent with Jorge Leitao a lone striker, supported by Chris Shuker down the right and Pedro Matias down the left.
Tomorrow there is every chance that Brazilian striker Junior will return alongside Leitao with Walsall reverting to 4-4-2.
The main problem for Lee is at centre back as Ian Roper is suspended, former Leeds defender Danny Hay is injured and Matt Carbon has also missed a couple of games.
Carbon should be fit to start against the Clarets but Lee took the opportunity to give young striker Gary Birch a run-out at centre back in a reserve match this week as he may be needed to provide emergency cover in case anything should happen to Carbon or Tony Barras.
In contrast Lee has plenty of options in midfield where Vinny Samways is three games into his career at the Bescot Stadium.
Former Claret Danny Sonner has suffered injury problems all season but may be on the bench after playing for the reserves.
Darren Wrack, used as an emergency left back last week, should return to the right side of midfield with Zigor Aranalde coming back in defence.
