EFL preview: A weekend of returns, wonderkids and derby delights

League Two leaders Walsall saw their nine-game winning run – and 16-match unbeaten streak – ended by Bradford with a 3-0 defeat at Valley Parade last weekend.

Crewe, who were second before last Saturday’s games, lost 1-0 at home to Accrington, while Port Vale and AFC Wimbledon drew with Chesterfield and MK Dons respectively.

Following the midweek fixtures, only Walsall have retained their place in the top four, but it’s still incredibly tight in the race for automatic promotion and the play-off spots.

Even the Saddlers have had a wobble of late, losing again at Fleetwood on Tuesday, meaning their 12-point gap at the top has been cut to nine by Doncaster Rovers, who have now won three on the bounce.

It’s still a pretty hefty advantage, though Mat Sadler’s side will want to get things back on track when they host Salford City, while in-form Bradford City welcome fellow promotion challengers AFC Wimbledon in the pick of the games on Saturday.
