The Lowdown
After two successive promotions, Exeter City have been battling for League One survival all season and remain one of a handful of sides trying to avoid the final relegation spot.
The Grecians finished runners-up to Brentford in League Two last season and started the current campaign looking for survival.
Under the guidance of Paul Tisdale, City initially struggled to adapt to life in League One and won only one of their first eight games, a 1-0 victory at Carlisle.
However, key wins over fellow strugglers Tranmere, Hartlepool, Stockport and Southend, among others, kept City in touch with safety, and a 2-0 success at home to Leeds in January seemed to suggest Tisdale's side would have enough to stay up.
Unfortunately, inconsistency reared its head once more, and they failed to win any of their next nine games, slipping into the bottom four.
Falling into the relegation zone has appeared to be the wake-up call needed, with the visitors currently enjoying their best run of the season, having not suffered defeat in eight games.
Town fans will be familiar with the City side having already played them twice this season, both at St. James Park.
Both games finished 1-1, with Kevin Amankwaah scoring in the return league fixture and Anthony McNamee bagging in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie, which Town won on penalties.

Team News - Swindon Town
Vincent Pericard returned to the bench on Saturday at Colchester after his recent hamstring injury, but long term absentees Alan O'Brien and Kurt Hammonds are still unavailable.
Town boss Danny Wilson may name an unchanged side.
Swindon Town Manager, Danny Wilson:
"It will be a difficult game because Exeter are in a decent run of form, and we will need all the support we can get on Monday night.
"Let's fill The County Ground to the rafters and make it a really intimidating atmosphere for Exeter to play in."
Team News - Exeter City
Striker Adam Stansfield has recently been diagnosed with bowel cancer, but is hopeful of returning next season.
On-loan pair George Friend and Stuart Fleetwood look set to continue in the starting 11, with striker Ryan Taylor looking to make his first City start after signing from Rotherham last month. Former Swindon striker Barry Corr looks unlikely to figure.
Exeter City Manager, Paul Tisdale:
"We have nothing to worry about, we are on an extremely good run and this should be a bonus game for us really.
"It is the same for Swindon as it is for us. They had an away trip to Colchester on Saturday so they will only have 48 hours to prepare, the same as us.
"They are a terrific footballing side and I am looking forward to seeing how we fare against them."
