STREAM HERE >>> Notts county vs Yeovil Town free stream online National League Full HD
Notts County finished fifth in the National League last season, but they have enjoyed a brilliant campaign up until this point, only losing one game out of the 19 they have played.
Their excellent form means they currently sit top of the National League table, one point ahead of second-placed Wrexham.
Goals from Adam Chicksen and Ruben Rodrigues secured the three points for Luke Williams‘s side last time out against Eastleigh, meaning they are now unbeaten in their last six games – their last defeat was in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round against Coalville Town back on October 15.
The Magpies will fancy their chances in this clash, as they are yet to lose at home this season in the league, winning seven and drawing two of the nine games they have played at Meadow Lane.
Yeovil, on the other hand, have struggled for consistency this season, winning three, drawing nine and losing seven of their 19 outings so far.
Alex Fisher‘s brace helped Yeovil to a 3-1 win over fellow National League strugglers Gateshead last time out, giving Mark Cooper his first taste of victory as Yeovil manager.
Will Harris gave Gateshead a 25th-minute lead after being sent through by Lirak Hasani, but Fisher’s header in the 31st minute levelled proceedings for the Glovers.
Fisher then doubled his and Yeovil’s tally early in the second half when he fired home after good work from Chiori Johnson, before substitute Malachi Linton sealed Yeovil’s win, ending a run of seven games in all competitions without a victory.
That result leaves the Glovers sat 19th in the table, only two points above the relegation places.
Yeovil Town will certainly be without Charlie Wakefield who hasn’t trained this week. Neither have Ben Richards-Everton or Josh Staunton who have had injections, however the two are closer to a return than the former Chelsea youngster.
However, the Glovers have been bolstered by Lawson D’Ath and Morgan Williams returning to training.
A foot in the opposition camp
It’s been a strong start to the season for the Magpies who sit top of the National League at this stage. After losing manager Ian Burchnall to Forest Green Rovers, Luke Williams took the reins and has fired them to the top of the table.
Much has been attributed to strong recruitment in the summer, most notably Macauley Langstaff who is the top scorer in the division with 18 goals.
This recruitment, on top of an already strong core has led to promotion hopes amongst the Meadow Lane faithful.
Have we met before?
Fixtures between the two sides have been a regular occurrence in recent seasons, with the two sides dropping out of League Two together in 2019.
Yeovil have found form difficult to find against the Magpies, having not won since their first National League meeting at Huish Park in August 2019.
In our last trip to Meadow Lane, Yeovil were a matter of minutes away from breaking that record, but Alex Bradley’s second half strike was wiped out by a last-minute equaliser.
Last time out against Eastleigh, Luke Williams made four changes to the side that drew with Southend United, as Tobi Adebayo-Rowling, Connell Rawlinson, Ed Francis and Sam Austin all came into the starting XI.
Williams expressed concerns of fatigue in County’s previous two fixtures, but the four players that came into the side against the Spitfires made a case for a starting place against Yeovil this weekend, with Williams insisting he is welcoming a potential selection headache.
Quevin Castro was not able to overcome a shoulder injury to face Eastleigh, and it looks likely he will miss out again here.
Meanwhile, Louis Britton made his debut for the visitors off the bench last time out, after his arrival from Cork City on a free transfer.
