AI match recap

Yeovil return to Huish Park needing a more controlled response after a dramatic first tie that swung away from them late on. Their attacking patterns created enough to establish a commanding position, but Leatherhead exposed a clear vulnerability around set-pieces and second phases. The short turnaround adds a recovery issue, especially with Yeovil's squad options already affected by Westbrooke's calf problem and Dean's cup-tied status. Home territory and Yeovil's higher-level experience should matter, but Leatherhead have earned the right to be treated as a live threat whenever the ball goes wide or dead.

Head-to-head analysis

The only relevant recent meeting finished 3-3 on Saturday. Yeovil showed the higher-quality attacking sequences but Leatherhead demonstrated that they can punish lapses decisively from set-pieces and late pressure.

Injuries and absences

Westbrooke was reported out with a calf injury, reducing Yeovil's midfield depth, while Owen Dean is cup-tied. Ryan Jones started the first tie despite an earlier head-knock doubt, but his recovery remains worth monitoring given the short turnaround.
