Exeter City return to St James Park as they take on Swindon Town in Sky Bet League Two.
They go into the match with the Robins second in the league table following a hard-fought point away from home to Yeovil Town last weekend.
Ahead of the game against Phil Brown’s side, City boss Matt Taylor said: “They’ve drawn a few games which means they probably haven’t picked up as many points as they’d have liked.
“They’ve got some good players in the team. I watched them on Tuesday night and, if that’s their so-called reserve team, then it’s going to be a proper game this weekend because they were excellent.”
WHEN WE LAST MET
The Grecians last came up against Town back in March last year in what was an excellent 3-1 win for City.
Kaiyne Woolery put Phil Brown’s side in front at St James Park just before the half hour mark, but six minutes later Jake Taylor levelled for the home side. Pierce Sweeney then stepped up to score from the penalty spot just before half-time to give City a 2-1 lead at the break.
Jayden Stockley then made sure the points were safe for the Grecians when he finished off a well-worked move in the 87th minute to make sure of a 3-1 win.
