WITH two goals in his last two games Glen Little will start tomorrow's match against Walsall in confident form as he goes for a hat-trick of sorts.

But as he plays down the right flank he knows he will face a tough test against one of the most consistent performers for the Saddlers in the past couple of seasons.

Spanish defender Zigor Aranalde has taken part in all but two of Walsall's league games in the past two seasons as they first won promotion to the first division and then defied the odds to stay up.

He is big and strong and was also on the scoresheet last week, netting a late leveller from the spot. He likes to get forward to support his attack although his main task at Turf Moor will be stifling the considerable threat of Little.

His partnership with Robbie Blake and Dean West down the right has looked increasingly threatening and he is delighted to be back on the goal trail.

Last season was his best in terms of goals scored as he recorded double figures for the first time and he is hoping that a similar total is still possible this time around.

Both his goals this season have come from his left boot, the winner against Wimbledon and the second at Hillsborough, but he has also gone close with his head and his right foot.

Aranalde and co will be doing all they can to keep Little quiet but as everyone in the dressing room at Turf Moor knows, that is virtually impossible!
