Yeovil's re-arranged match against Leyton Orient looks like it will finally be played after poor recent weather.

The Glovers will look forward to their first game of 2010 against a struggling Leyton Orient side.

Yeovil haven't played since the 28th of December and will be hoping that a new year brings a new fortune to away results.

Despite recent weather ruining much of the football fixtures across the UK, it has allowed several Yeovil players to recover from injury. Nathan Jones is now fit and Aidan Downes looks set to be named on the bench for the first time this season after a lengthy spell on the side lines. Striker Dean Bowditch is also back to full fitness.

Shaun MacDonald has sorted his loan agreement from Swansea and is set to start along with fellow loanee Alex McCarthy who has extended his stay for another week at least.

However, Ryan Mason, JP Kalala and Gavin Tomlin are all doubts but the extent of their injuries are unknown.  

Leyton Orient will be without their dangerous winger Andros Townsend who has been loaned out by parent club Tottenham Hotspur to promotion hopefuls MK Dons. However, Sean Thornton returns from suspension but Ben Chorley misses out for that reason.

The Glovers drew 3-3 with Orient back at Huish Park and will be hoping for another entertaining game this time with all three points travelling back to Somerset.
