Yeovil Town kick-off their League One campaign at home to London side Leyton Orient, featuring ex-Glovers Terrell Forbes and Aaron Brown managed by Russell Slade.

Last season the game resulted in a 3-3 draw, with none of the Yeovil scorers present at the club this season.

No new injury concerns have arose from the Yeovil camp, but quartet Nathan Smith, Stefan Stam, Andy Welsh and JP Kalala all missed the last pre-season match at Torquay, and may miss the match depending on whether they have recovered from their knocks. Terry Skiverton hasn't publicised that any of them have worrying injuries.  

9 of the 10 new signings at Yeovil will be in line to make their first competitive start for the Glovers if they are picked on Saturday, especially if any of the above players fail to regain fitness.  

Orient on the other hand have two lengthy absentees in striker Jake Argent and left-back Charlie Daniels.

Russell Slade spoke in mid-week of how he doesn't expect miracles from his side in the early part of the season with the amount of new signings, but both sides have signed 10 new players, meaning their is no excuse on Saturday!

The game is available to listen to on BBC Radio Somerset on 99.5FM.

And tickets are still available for the 3pm kick-off on Saturday.
