Exeter City make their first ever trip to the new Huish Park to face Yeovil Town this Saturday.

It is also City`s first ever trip to Yeovil for a league fixture. The Glover`s were promoted to the Football League for the first time in their history in the same season that the Grecians were relegated from the Football League for the first time (2002-03)

This is City`s shortest away trip of the season, and there should be a substantial Grecian following at Huish Park for this crunch game.

Yeovil Town Team News:

Glover`s boss Terry Skiverton welcomes back defender Terrell Forbes and striker Sam Williams for this westcountry derby after sitting out the 2-0 defeat at Leyton Orient in midweek through suspension.


Player to watch: Jon Obika

The on-loan Tottenham Hotspur striker will pose a threat to the Grecian back line

Exeter City Team News:

Troy Archibald Henville and Barry Corr are both available for selection after completing suspensions. However, manager Paul Tisdale may be reluctant to change his side after last weeks excellent win over Leeds United.

Player to watch: Ryan Harley

Can he repeat his heroics once again?

Last Meeting

The two sides last met back in August at St. James Park. Paul Tisdale`s side took a first half lead, but a disappointing second half display saw the Glover`s return to Somerset with a share of the spoils.
