Exeter City will be looking to get back to winning ways in EFL Sky Bet League Two on Saturday, as they host league leaders Lincoln City at St James Park
The Grecians suffered their first league defeat of the season last time out away at MK Dons, and after the midweek trip to Craven Cottage, City will be looking for the three points.
City manager Matt Taylor is expecting a tough challenge on Saturday. "I see it being a physical, high-tempo game and a high-standard game from two groups of really good players at this level.” said Matt.
“We are certainly going to be up for Saturday,” said Matt. “Everyone is looking forward to it and it is a proper game of football to look forward to."
