Walsall Travel To Southend In Capital One Cup

Walsall have today been given a tough away draw in the First Round of The Capital One Cup despite being amongst the seeded teams.

The Saddlers will travel to Southend United during the week of August 11th.

Southend finished 5th in League 2 last season and were narrowly defeated by Burton Albion in the play-offs.

Pointless Fact – Southend manager Phil Brown is related to my former head teacher
