📝 Match Preview: Northampton Town (H)

Exeter City return to League action at the Park this Saturday to take on Northampton Town in a 3pm kick-off.

The Grecians will be looking to build on Tuesday evening's incredible night under the lights in the Carabao Cup as Demetri Mitchell's goal earned a 1-0 win over Premier League side Luton Town, earning the club a place in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup for the first time since 1990!

Visitors Northampton Town have adapted well to life back in League One, currently sitting in 18th place, but are on the back of three straight League defeats.

City will be without Demetri Mitchell, who picked up a red card on Tuesday night, so will sit out Saturday's match.

The atmosphere and scenes at the end were incredible on Tuesday night - more of the same please Grecians!

This year’s Play Safe weekend focuses on the safeguarding role that EVERYONE has to play.

Whether coach, player, parent/carer, spectator, or volunteer, it is so important to keep children and young people safe, no matter what the football setting. 

Everyone, everywhere, every time’ should have an understanding of safeguarding in football.

We ask and encourage you all to ‘watch, listen, talk and act’ if they have any safeguarding concerns.
