Exeter – Northampton preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Exeter vs Northampton lineups.
Exeter
Exeter suffered some heavy defeats in recent days after selling their star striker Sam Nombe in late August. However, the mood of the Grecians must be vastly improved after Tuesday night. Exeter knocked out the Premier League side Luton of the League Cup, beating them 1-0 at home. This is despite the manager resting half of his regulars in the match.
Exeter hopes for more of the same but lately, they had to rely on their defence as the goals are hard to come by now Nombe is gone. There is new hope up front though with the recently signed striker Yanic Wildschut ready to lead the line.
The team’s main wing-back Mitchell misses this game suspended. There are 7 players in the treatment room too. Among them striker Muskwe, the other main wing-back Niskinen and the team’s best centre-back Diabate.
Predicted Lineup:
Sinisalo (GK), Sweeney, Aimson, Hartridge, Kite, Carroll, Jules, Scott, Cole & Wildschut
Northampton
Northampton are starting to feel pressure lately as they went on a 3-game losing streak. Last weekend lost 1-2 at home vs Barnsley. Scored only very late on when the game was already decided. Never found a way to slow down the Tykes in that match.
Another defeat was suffered in midweek when beaten on penalties by Chelsea’s U21s in the EFL Trophy.
Northampton’s back line remains crippled right now Both Magloire and Koiki would have started if fit. Both are deemed unavailable right now. Useful midfielder Hondemarck and striker Hylton are also ruled out.
Predicted Lineup:
Burge (GK), Odimayo, Sherring, Guthrie, Brough, McWilliams, Leonard, Bowie, Pinnock, Hoskins & Simpson
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Wil Aimson
Exeter’s solid rock in defence Wil Aimson has been very impactful so far. When he plays well Exeter win, when he doesn’t they lose. Aimson is one of only two fully fit regular defenders right now and his role becomes even more important.
This is why we pick as our player to watch exactly Aimson. If he does well Exeter should do well too.
