After winning 3-1 in their last three games, Rovers look far down south to take on Yeovil for the final time this season.

Liam Mandeville is back to fitness and will come into contention for the starting 11, but will find it hard to replace Andy Williams and John Marquis. Matty Blair is said to be okay, after coming off with a 'knock' against Crewe during the 3-1 win, last Saturday.

Ferguson is looking to ship out four players, such as: Cedric Evina, Mitchell Lund, Reece Fielding and Louis Jones, all on loan. He has said that he'd like to see Evina and Lund especially leave on loan for more game time.

At the press conference on Thursday Ferguson alluded to the fact that it's not because of Cedric Evina's ability why he's not featuring, but simply that there is already depth there with Mason doing a good job at left back and Tommy Rowe being able to fit into left wing back if needed, as well Aaron Taylor-Sinclair, who should be returning from injury soon.

Head-to-heads

Out of the last 8 league games, Rovers have the second best form record in the league behind Exeter City, collecting 19 points. Yeovil aren't in the best form, having earned just 7 points from the last 8 games.

Yeovil have a better defensive record than Rovers; they've conceded just 31 goals in 26 matches, whereas Rovers have conceded 34 in 27 matches.

Player to watch

Striker Francois Zoko is Yeovil's player to watch, as he is their top scorer netting 7 goals for far this season for the Glovers.

Previous encounters

Last time out at the Keepmoat Rovers won 4-1 with a hat trick from Andy Williams and a goal from James Coppinger back in August. Last time we visited Huish Park was during one of our seasons in league one in August 2014, where we won 3-0 with goals from Curtis Main, Harry Forrester and Theo Robinson.

Overall, Rovers have won 5, drawn 2 and lost 8 against Yeovil since 2003.

Predicted lineup v Yeovil Town

Lawlor; Blair, Butler, Baudry, Mason; Houghton, Grant, Rowe, Coppinger; Marquis and Williams.
