Match Preview: Oldham Athletic v. Yeovil Town

After last weekends dismal 2-0 home defeat to Hartlepool, Terry Skiverton will want a reaction from his side, as they travel to Oldham Athletic.

Under the management of Paul Dickov, the Latics have started brilliantly, and are so far undefeated in League One, with two wins and a draw. 

Oldham defeated Tranmere on the opening day, and since then have beaten Notts County a comfortable 3-0 before earning a respectable draw against Charlton Athletic at the Valley. 

On the injury front, the Latics will be without Jason Jarrett (suspended), Sean Gregan (ankle), Lewis Alessandra (thigh) and Phil McGrath (knee).

The Glovers have far less injury concerns, with Luke Freeman now fully fit after he picked up a leg injury against Bristol Rovers a fortnight ago.

Jean-Paul Kalala returns after suspension, and will play against his former club.

New arrival Owain Tudor-Jones could feature in the game whilst 'keepr John Sullivan will continue in goal after extending his loan stay.

However, fellow extended loanee Rob Kiernan is likely to drop to the bench due to the return of Kalala.

Without a win since the opening day, Yeovil will hope to guide their season back on track, but Terry Skiverton has called for calm:

"I'm not going to panic three games into the season, I hope our supporters aren't panicking (after defeat by Hartlepool.)."

"You've got to put that to one side,move forward and learn from your mistakes."
