Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 30 Oct, 15:40 · Archive

Exeter City travel to face League Two leaders Salford City on Saturday, looking to challenge a side six points clear at the top.

Exeter City travel to the AIG Stadium on Saturday to face Salford City, who lead League Two by six points. The hosts have won seven games in a row and demolished Walsall 4-2 on Monday, prompting manager Matt Taylor to describe their performance as 'outstanding'.

Exeter have themselves built momentum recently, winning four of their last five games and conceding just one goal in that run. This form has lifted them from relegation-zone concerns to eighth place, only goal difference keeping them out of the play-off spots. Taylor acknowledged the scale of the challenge ahead. 'It's one we're really looking forward to, but we'll have to be at our best to get anything out of this game,' he said.

Taylor praised Salford's attacking quality, saying their play 'was above League Two level', though he noted that Salford have also conceded goals this season. He added that Exeter would need to adopt a defensive approach but expressed confidence that his side could trouble the league leaders. 'We're going to go there and give it absolutely everything,' Taylor said.
