Match Preview: Huddersfield Town v. Yeovil Town

After getting back to winning ways last week after an emphatic win over Tranmere Rovers, the Glovers face a difficult trip to high-flyers Huddersfield.

The Terriers are unbeaten at home this season, but have dropped points to both Tranmere Rovers (who Yeovil turned over 3-1) and AFC Bournemouth, giving hope to manager Terry Skiverton, who has been talking in the week stating that "anyone can beat anyone."

After last weekends return to form, Skiverton will look to keep the same starting eleven, with only one forced change. Goalkeeper John Sullivan misses out through injury, being replaced by 8th loanee Stephen Henderson, who joins on-loan from Bristol City.

Elsewhere, Sam Williams serves the final game of his three match suspension, whilst Cameron Stewart, Rob Kiernan and Danny Hutchins all missed last weeks match through injury, and their status is unknown.

But three loan players will have to miss out, with them likely to be the injured Sullivan, Cameron Stewart and Rob Kiernan. 

Huddersfield should welcome back duo Anthony Pilkington and Lee Peltier, who is sure to receive a good reception from the Yeovil faithful. 

Last season saw the Glovers lose both games to the Terriers, despite taking the lead at the Galpharm through Kieran Murtagh's terrific long range strike. They could have doubled their lead but Gavin Tomlin missed his spot kick, and the Glovers went on to lose 2-1.

In the return fixture Yeovil went down 1-0, with Nathan Ecclestone scoring on his debut for Huddersfield. 

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