1st position in the League Two table for Exeter City so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 9th-placed Grimsby Town visits St. James' Park.

Grimsby Town could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Carabao Cup game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Chelsea, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Grimsby Town.
