Exeter City will be looking to make it three wins on the spin on Saturday, but will face a tough task as league leaders Cheltenham Town visit SJP at 3pm.
After midweek's 2-0 win at Scunthorpe on which City kept a third straight clean sheet and Matt Jay scored his fourth goal in as many days, the Grecians go into this match in good form, but face a formidable Robins side who are perched at the top of the league table.
Town did however lose in midweek - 3-1 at Mansfield Town - and will be wanting to put things right. That result ended a run of four straight league wins away from home.
Matt Taylor will have Tom Parkes available after suspension, while Pierce Sweeney is also back after coming off the bench at Scunthorpe on Tuesday night. He has also hinted that Sam Stubbs and Randell Williams are not far away from being given some minutes, and you can hear his full pre-match thoughts below 👇
MATT TAYLOR'S THOUGHTS
"We know we are up against a good team this weekend. It's one of fourteen opportunities left," Taylor sai ahead of the game.
"Any team who finishes above Cheltenham this season will be there of there abouts. The game will not define us in any way and it won't define where we finish.
"It'll be our consistency over the fourteen games that defines that."
