Walsall have been drawn at home to National League side Macclesfield in the first round of the FA Cup.The tie against John Askey's Silkmen, who are currently fifth in non-league's top tier, will take place during the weekend of November 5th and 6th.
The Saddlers won 2-0 at Moss Rose when the teams last met in a League Two fixture back in January 2007, thanks to a brace from Dean Keates.
Walsall also played Town in the FA Cup first round that season, but lost 1-0 at the Banks's in a replay after the initial tie finished goalless.
