The Spireites squad is running thin on numbers, as the injury crisis continues for Paul Cook. The gaffer will have some tough decisions to make ahead of the big fixture.

Tom Denton got his first minutes last time out under the new gaffer and the striker will be hoping he has done enough to earn himself a place in the starting XI.

Jeff King could return to the side. The wing-back is back from suspension, after picking up a straight red card a few games ago. Fellow wing-backs Alex Whittle and Calvin Miller will also be hoping they can secure a place in the squad.

Curtis Weston will not feature, as the midfielder is still suspended.

On Yeovil Town

Yeovil won the League Two title in 2004/05, before reaching the Championship with victory in the 2013 League One play-off final in Gary Johnson’s second spell as manager. However, they suffered consecutive relegations, and were relegated once more following the 2018/19 season, ending their 16-season spell in the Football League.

The club’s nickname, “The Glovers”, is a reference to the history of glove-making in the town of Yeovil, which became a centre of the industry during the 18th and 19th centuries.

The club currently sit in 13^th position, over ten points outside the play-offs. Yeovil will be hoping for a strong finish to the season in the hope they can catapult into a play-off position, and eventually achieve promotion back to the Football League.

One to watch

Former Spireite Adi Yussuf is a powerful striker with an eye for goal. The 30-year-old played for the Spireites last season and was released at the end of the campaign, eventually moving to Yeovil Town. He has scored six goals so far this term.
