Walsall 1 Huddersfield Town 1: Terriers held by Saddlers
Kallum Higginbotham enjoyed his first involvement under Simon Grayson in two months after being recalled from his loan spell at Barnsley.
Damien Johnson and Oscar Gobern both came through the full 90 minutes of a development game in midweek and returned to the matchday 16 along with Alex Smithies, who missed the last two games with a head wound.
Lee Novak opened the scoring after just two minutes but the Saddlers equalised on 49 minutes, Florent Cuvelier pouncing.
The draw leaves Town in fifth spot, two points behind MK Dons.
