The Glovers take on Swindon Town at Huish Park on Saturday afternoon hoping to get back to winning ways after two successive defeats. 

Whilst the FA Cup First Round draw has dominated the majority of Yeovil talk, it must not be forgotten that the game versus the Robins has large significance, with Swindon lying just two points ahead of the Glovers.

A problem for both sides this season has been the number of goals conceded, something Swindon manager Danny Wilson has looked to address bringing in Andy Frampton on-loan from Millwall. Frampton is expected to go straight into the starting eleven, making his debut against the Green and Whites. 

Ahead of last weekends game against Brighton & Hove Albion manager Terry Skiverton had a bit of a selection headache with many of his squad missing out through injury or playing through the pain.

This week holds a similar situation for the gaffer, although he should welcome back Shaun MacDonald from illness. The treatment table is still popular in the Yeovil camp with Danny Hutchins, Stefan Stam, Craig Alcock, Adam Virgo and Luke Freeman all missing parts or all of the weeks training with injuries. Their involvement will go down to the wire.

Williams duo Sam and Gavin are said to be 'playing through the pain', but they are both likely to feature in Saturday's match. 

The Robins are likely to start with two ex-Glovers, in the form of Kevin Amankwaah and Michael Rose, with the latter likely to replace the suspended Alan Sheehan. 

In terms of injuries, Swindon's only doubts are captain Jonathan Douglas and striker Vincent Pericard, although both are more likely to feature than miss out. A definite absentee though will be winger Alan O'Brien who picked up an injury in mid-week. 

Yeovil will be hoping to improve on last seasons drubbing at the hands off Swindon, who defeated the Glovers 1-0 at Huish Park before earning an emphatic 3-1 victory at the County Ground. Last seasons scorer Gavin Tomlin has since moved on, but so have Robins goalscorers Billy Paynter and Daniel Ward. Who will be the hero this time?

Despite both sets of supporters not deeming it a local derby, the on-the-pitch antics tend to fit that derby mould with physical battles frequent in this feature. Yeovil manager Terry Skiverton was in-fact sent off in this fixture as a player, with Robins manager Danny Wilson getting sent to the stands last season for aggressive behaviour. 

Tickets remain on sale up until kick-off (3.00pm) or the game is available to listen to on BBC Radio Somerset 99.5FM.
