Lee Grant shifts Walsall to three-four-three for Bristol City cup tie | OneFootball

Lee Grant has adjusted Walsall’s shape for his first competitive match, with the side appearing to line up three-four-three at Bristol City in the Carabao Cup first round.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, Grant had favoured a four-two-three-one through pre-season but has changed approach this evening at Ashton Gate.

Ryan Leak captains the Saddlers and makes his competitive debut.

The starting XI reads: Ward in goal, a back three of Burke, Leak and Skura, wing-backs Ahui and Hancock, with Sprangler and Moore in midfield, and a front three of Clarke, Pressley and Smith.

The bench features Kilroy, Browne, Connolly, Sodje, Crew, Dallas, Simper, Harper and Adomah. Browne and Connolly returned to training earlier this week after knocks, and Leeds United loanee Charlie Crew signed yesterday.
