This Saturday sees Exeter City celebrate 20 years of Supporters' Trust ownership as we take on Leyton Orient in a 3pm kick-off in EFL Sky Bet League One.
City's match is one of just two matches in League One due to the international break. City will be looking to continue their fine form this season, which sees them top of the League after six matches, winning their last three league matches in a row.
Orient have found life back in League One tough so far, sitting in 20th place having picked up a single win so far this season.
The Grecians will be without Finnish duo Vil Sinisalo and Ilmari Niskanen who are off representing their country - good luck to the pair!
City's newest signings Admiral Muskwe and Jack Fitzwater will be looking to be involved.
Kevin Nicholson's Thoughts
Assistant manager Kevin Nicholson has given his thoughts as City prepare to take on Leyton Orient at SJP on Saturday.
Filing in on press duties for Gary Caldwell, who was in a board meeting, Nicho is looking forward to the match as the Grecians hope to cotinue their good start to the season.
"Our league position means nothing, and Saturday is all about us and how we try and beat a good team," Nicho said.
