Exeter City FC

Exeter City will be looking to make it three consecutive wins as they travel north to take on Carlisle United in Sky Bet League Two.

The Grecians go into the match following victories over Cambridge United and MK Dons at St James Park and will be looking to further their push towards the top end of the table.

Ahead of the match, manager Matt Taylor said: “There are a few knocks and niggles and a bit of illness in the camp but nothing out of the norm in terms of preparations. We’ve got to go there with the right mindset, a similar one to which we had last weekend, attack the game and attack the opposition. If we can put in a similar sort of performance then it will be a good game of football."

LAST TIME WE MET

The sides last met on the opening day of the 2018/19 campaign in what was manager Matt Taylor’s first competitive match in charge of the Grecians back in August 2018.

It was a fantastic start for City, who took all three points at St James Park, with a 3-1-win courtesy of goals from Nicky Law, Jonathan Forte and Tristan Abrahams to get the home side off to a fantastic start to the season.
