Grecians v Cobblers – team news

Bennett makes 100th senior City appearance

Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale names a completely unchanged starting line-up to face Chris Wilder’s Northampton Town at St James Park.

Both the Grecians’ starting XI and the bench are the same as they were for Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Dagenham & Redbridge, and that means Scot Bennett will make his 100th appearance in an Exeter City shirt, some achievement for the 23-year-old defender.

Cobblers boss Wilder made three alterations to his XI which drew at high-flying Scunthorpe: former Grecian Chris Hackett, Emile Sinclair and Brighton loanee Ben Dickenson coming in for Ricky Ravenhill, Alan Connell and Ian Morris. 

Exeter City: Krysiak; Bennett, Coles, Moore-Taylor, Woodman; Wheeler, Oakley, Grimes, Sercombe; Nichols, Parkin.
Subs: Hamon, Butterfield, Baldwin, Davies, Reid, Richards, Gill.

Northampton Town: Duke; McSweeney, Diamond, Doumbe, Robertson; Hackett, Deegan, Carter, Dickenson; Marquis, Sinclair.
Subs: Snedker, Morris, Connell, Tozer, Roberts, Toney, Moyo.
