Exeter City and Cheltenham Town will be looking to return to winning ways in League Two as the two sides meet in Devon on Saturday afternoon.
Exeter's five-game unbeaten run was ended at the hands of league leaders Salford City at the end of October, but the Grecians did claim the major scalp of League One table-toppers Huddersfield Town in the FA Cup first round last weekend.
Matt Taylor's side, who are currently perched in 12th, are only two points adrift of their visitors Cheltenham, who occupy fifth and are a point off the League Two automatic promotion places, despite their negative goal difference.
Cheltenham secured back-to-back wins over Fleetwood Town and Newport County before suffering defeat at the hands of Tranmere Rovers in Merseyside, but Steve Cotterill's Robins were victorious against Halifax Town in the FA Cup first round.
Cotterill also boasts a 100% win record against Exeter, winning all six league matches when opposing the Grecians as a manager.
Exeter City v Cheltenham Town team news
Hosts Exeter are without Charlie Cummins (Ireland U21s), Ethan Sutherland (Scotland U21s), and Vincent Harper (Kenya) due to international duty.
The absence of Cummins means Jake Doyle-Hayes makes his first appearance since the 2-0 win over Crewe, while Anthony Scully comes back into the squad for Sutherland on the left flank.
After ringing the changes in midweek for the EFL Trophy fixture against Oxford United, Cotterill returns to a more familiar starting XI.
Jake Evans misses the contest through suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of the campaign and the forward is replaced by Ryan Broom on the right flank.
Former Grecians stalwart Pierce Sweeney returns to St James Park for the first time since his switch to Cheltenham in the summer.
