Match Preview: Yeovil Town v. Colchester United

Yeovil Town play host to a Colchester United side who if they win, will rise to third in the table.

Terry Skiverton has no new injury woes with Stefan Stam returning to training yesterday which should make him available for selection. However, forward Gavin Tomlin is still struggling with an ankle injury which ruled him out of Saturday's and remains a 50/50 for the Colchester game.

Jean-Paul Kalala returns from a two match suspension and the only other concern for Skiverton is who the unlucky 6th loanee will be, with Arron Davies sitting out Saturday's match.

Colchester are set to be without top scorer Kevin Lisbie and full-back Christian Ribeiro who both missed last weekends match and are still doubtful for tonight's game. Ashley Vincent looks likely to be on the bench after a 5 month injury for the U's.

Colchester have lost just two of their last eleven games with defeats against Leeds United and Norwich City. However the U's stutter away from home winning just four games, drawing a large amount of games as well.

Back in August the Glovers lost 2-1 with a consolation goal coming from Ryan Mason, past records don't bide well for the Glovers who haven't beaten United since they entered the football league.
