The Glovers and the Canaries hae never played this fixture in the league, however, back in August Yeovil hosted the Norfolk club and suffered a resounding four goals to nil defeat.

After making five changes last week, Terry skiverton is expected to field an unchanged side after an impressive performance against MK Dons and has new new injury worries ahead of this weekends game.

Steven Caulker played in mid-week for Spurs' reserves and helped them to a one-nil win and will be hoping to continue his impressive form since joining the Glovers on loan.

Dean Bowditch will be hoping to continue his goal scoring run scoring after just 27 seconds last weekend.

Back in August Grant Holt grabbed a hat-trick and Wes hoolahan also found the net. The Irish midfielder doesn't lack experience against the Glovers as he featured in the Blackpool side which defeated Yeovil in the play-off final at Wembley in 2007.

Grant Holt is second highest top scorer in League ne with 13 goals, two behind Southampton's Ricky Lambert.

Looking forward to the game Yeovil manager Terry Skiverton said: "You have got to respect Norwich. They are on a fantastic run of form at the moment and you only have to look at the table to see just how well they are doing. Hopefully we have learned a lot since the last time we played them. I would like to think I have and I would like to think the players have. Hopefully we can give them a good game and erase the memory of our home defeat against Walsall. Hopefully the weather and conditions will be better and we can get the ball down and play football the way we like to play."
