The Cygnet Health Care Stadium stages the Peacocks’ biggest Emirates FA Cup game since the visit of Barrow six years ago when Yeovil Town visit for a 4th Round Qualifying replay tomorrow evening (18th October), ko 7.45pm.
The 0-0 draw at Huish Park on Saturday saw the Peacocks more than hold their own against the National League side but they will have to do it all over again tomorrow, knowing they will need to match or better their weekend performance if they wish to eliminate the Glovers from the competition under the lights. Apart from the prize money of £9,375 for the winners, both sides will have the incentive of an attractive away tie against Football League opposition in the form of MK Dons in the 1st Round Proper following the draw made this evening.
Yeovil will have pacy winger Gime Toure back in their squad following suspension while defender Jamie Reckord and midfielder Lawson D’Ath may also be available after missing the weekend encounter. As for the Peacocks, they name an unchanged squad from Saturday, with Joe Guest, who made a brief appearance off the bench, now fit following injury and Dave Sims-Burgess recovered from sickness. Head of Football Rob Dray is looking forward to a big night at the Cygnet. “Another massive night under the lights. I was very proud of the team on Saturday, and we fully deserve a second go, but we will still be underdogs tomorrow and it will be another tough ask. Saying that though, we know how good we are at home, so we need to maintain the levels we showed on Saturday in every way to give ourselves a chance of winning.”
Should the scores be level after 90 minutes, the game will go to extra time and penalties if necessary.
