Accrington set to be unchanged again

John Coleman may be tempted to name an unchanged Accrington Stanley side for a third consecutive match for the League Two clash with Exeter.

Manager Coleman, who celebrated a year in charge on Friday, was encouraged by his team's performance against Portsmouth and he stuck with the team the following week for their win at Bristol Rovers.

Billy Kee came off the bench to score the decisive goal, so the manager must decide whether to reward the former Burton and Scunthorpe forward with a start, while Shay McCartan will be looking to build on his first involvement of the season.

Joe Wright (knee) is a doubt after picking up a knock while on Under-21s duty with Wales. He should be around a week away from a return, as Stanley look to extend their unbeaten run to six games.

Meanwhile, Exeter boss Paul Tisdale could also field an unchanged side at the Wham Stadium.

Tisdale has hinted he may stick with the same team, fielding a 4-3-3 formation, after City have won their last two fixtures, but he has plenty of options to shake things up when required.

Arron Davies is fit again and could make the bench, Jordan Moore-Taylor is ready to be recalled and the trio of Lee Holmes, Joel Grant and Clinton Morrison made an impact from the bench in last week's win at Hartlepool.

Tisdale told the Exeter Express and Echo: "We had the ability to freshen things up from the bench without having to change the make-up of the team. That is important, we had like-for-like changes and it is a long time since we have been able to do that."
