Match Preview: Yeovil Town v. Sheffield Wednesday


Injury Doubt

Yeovil Town return to Huish Park for the first time in over a fortnight to face stuttering Sheffield Wednesday. 

The last time the Glovers played at home they managed to produce a good result drawing 1-1 with Southampton, which set them on good stead as they have now only conceded one goal in three games. 

Since the game against the Saints, Yeovil have beaten lowly Walsall and play-off candidates Rochdale, both with a 1-0 scoreline. 

Sheffield Wednesday have made a full circle in terms of form. After an initially good start the Owls followed this up with a slump in form, with their results only starting to improve in the last few weeks. 

But their season has so far been marred by their off-field situation, with finances again being at the root of the problems.

After four successive defeats, Wednesday have won their previous two games, with wins over Notts County and Leyton Orient. The Owls now lie in 5th position, interestingly the position Rochdale occupied until their defeat to the Glovers last week.

In terms of injuries, Terry Skiverton has new concerns. The only doubts lie with JP Kalala, who continues to struggle with a knee ligament problem, whilst Stefan Stam is struggling with a knock, in the week he learnt he can leave the club on loan.

Sheffield Wednesday are in a similar position, with their only injury doubts consisting of Giles Coke and Jermaine Johnson, with Coke likely to need a late fitness test.

The fixture highlights the Owls fall from grace, with the Green and Whites hoping to inflict their famous giant killing act, earning them a third successive win.

The game is available to listen to at BBC Radio Somerset or tickets can be bought at the ground on the day.
