Chris Hargreaves makes just one change from the side that beat Dagenham as they take on National League leaders Wealdstone.

As expected, Lawson D’ath makes way after coming off with a knee injury on Saturday with Sam Perry taking his place in the starting line up.

Taking his place on the bench, is a slightly surprising return to the squad for Charlie Wakefield, he was expected to miss this game, but has clearly recovered ahead of schedule, which is lovely.

There’s no goalkeeper on the bench with loanees, Matty Grivosti and Finley Craske both still missing from the squad as well as Bristol City stopper Will Buse, the squad is as follows…

Yeovil Town: Grant Smith, Morgan Williams, Alfie Pond, Ben Richards-Everton, Josh Staunton, Jamie Reckord, Matt Worthington, Sam Perry, Gime Toure,Alex Fisher, Malachi Linton. Substitutes: Callum Rowe, Max Hunt, Chiori Johnson, Charlie Wakefield, Jake Scrimshaw.

As for the hosts, former Glover – and in form striker Rhys Browne leads their line with enforced changes in their back-line.
There’s no place for Fela Olomola, who is out injured.

Wealdstone: Howes, Cook, Kinsella, Charles, Allarakhia, Ferguson, Browne, Sesay, Napa, Kretzschmar, Habergham
Substitutes: Young, Hutchinson, Dyer, Mongoy, Mundle-Smith

New signing Gime Toure remains on the substitutes’ bench having impressed when he came on against the Welshmen.

Winger Sam Pearson is handed his first start since joining Yeovil Town on loan as they face title favourites Wrexham in the opening league fixture at Huish Park (3pm kick-off).

In what could be either a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 formation, the Bristol City youngster replaces centre half Ben Richards-Everton who is not in the squad and understood to be injured.

Recent arrivals Gime (pronounced ‘Jimmy’ we’re told) Toure and defender Alfie Pond are both named on the bench alongside Lawson D’Ath, Chiori Johnson and goalkeeper Will Buse.

For the visitors, summer signings Elliot Lee and Jacob Mendy both come in come off the bench in the opening day win over Eastleigh last weekend.

Lee, who scored twice seven days ago to earn his new side a win, is paired alongside Paul Mullin and Ollie Palmer in what can only be described as a ridiculously talented front three at this year.

Yeovil Town: Grant Smith, Morgan Williams, Max Hunt, Josh Staunton, Jamie Reckord, Charlie Wakefield, Sam Perry, Matt Worthington, Sam Pearson, Alex Fisher, Malachi Linton. Substitutes: Buse, Johnson, Pond, Toure, D’Ath.

Sam Pearson in action for Wales – FAW

Chris Hargreaves has made a couple of changes for the final pre-season game ahead of the new campaign.

New signings Ben Richards-Everton and Sam Pearson are both named in the squad.

The former starts in the backline alongside Morgan Williams and Max Hunt with the welsh midfielder having to wait to make his impact from the bench.

Skipper Josh Staunton returns to midfield alongside Matt Worthington. Lawson D’ath misses out altogether presumably with more ‘minute managing’ on the cards for the midfielder.

There are three trialists listed – if we figure out who they might be, we will let you know.

Yeovil Town are unchanged as they prepare to face League One opposition in Plymouth Argyle in their latest pre-season friendly at Huish Park today (3pm kick-off).

Manager Chris Hargreaves has stuck with the same starting XI which earned a 1-1 draw against Exeter City seven days ago with the only change coming on the substitutes’ bench where playmaker Lawson D’Ath returns.

He had missed the friendlies at Taunton Town and against Exeter through injury. The official team-sheet states that “a number of trialists” are also on the bench – but what that number is we will have to wait and see.

For the visitors, former Glovers’ skipper Joe Edwards is named as captain as he makes his first return to Somerset since leaving in 2015.

Yeovil Town: Grant Smith, Chiori Johnson, Morgan Williams, Josh Staunton, Max Hunt, Jamie Reckord, Sam Perry,  Matt Worthington, Tom Knowles, Malachi Linton, Alex Fisher. Substitutes: Max Evans, Ollie Haste, Toby Stephens, Charlie Wakefield, Ollie Hulbert, Lawson D’Ath + “a number of trialists.”

There is just one trialist named in the Yeovil Town starting XI for today’s pre-season friendly against League One new boys Exeter City at Huish Park today (3pm kick-off).

Trialist A appears to be playing at right back on the team-sheet and therefore we assume it is Chiori Johnson, the former Torquay United player who played in the goalless draw at Taunton Town on Tuesday night.

Four other trialists are named on the substitutes’ bench whilst striker Alex Fisher, who joined on a two-year deal in the week, makes his first start since returning to the club.

Charlie Wakefield and Ollie Hulbert are both named on the bench having missed the midweek game through injury, but there is still no place for Lawson D’Ath.

Yeovil Town: Grant Smith, Trialist A, Morgan Williams, Max Hunt, Josh Staunton, Jamie Reckord, Sam Perry,  Matt Worthington, Tom Knowles, Malachi Linton, Alex Fisher. Substitutes: Max Evans, Ollie Haste, Toby Stephens, Charlie Wakefield, Ollie Hulbert, Trialist B, Trialist C, Trialist D, Trialist E.
