Yeovil Town lacking love on the road ahead of Bristol Rovers derby

Yeovil are yet to win an away game under manager Terry Skiverton and have to look back to a 3-1 triumph at Peterborough on Valentines' Day for their last success on enemy soil.

That proved to be previous manager Russell Slade's last game in charge of the Glovers, although his successor is unconcerned about the statistic, as long as his side are improving.

Yeovil arrive at the Memorial Stadium unbeaten in five League One matches, and on the back of a 3-1 win over Carlisle United.

Skiverton said: "I do not care what my record is, all I care about is that Yeovil Town are performing and the supporters are pleased with the way the club is moving. We are building Yeovil Town for the future in the right way."

Yeovil have been fielding a 4-2-3-1 formation and are expected to stick to the side that started last weekend's triumph over the Cumbrians.

Alex McCarthy will be between the posts with Craig Alcock at right-back, Spurs loanee Steven Caulker and Terrell Forbes in central defence, and assistant boss Nathan Jones at left-back.

The two defensive midfielders are Shaun MacDonald, who is on loan from Swansea, and Jean-Paul Kalala, the Congolese player who is currently having his second spell with the Somerset club.

Ahead of them will be Andy Welsh, another on-loan Spurs player Ryan Mason, and former Bristol City stalwart Scott Murray, who is doubtless looking forward to the reception Gasheads always reserve for Ashton Gate old boys.

Sam Williams will be the front man, looking to improve on a record which has seen him find the net only once in 14 outings so far this term.
