Exeter City prepare to entertain Southport at St James' Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Grecians are clearly on top, having won 8 and lost only 2 of the 14 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at St James' Park was just last season, in March 2006, with Exeter City annihilating their visitors 5-0 in a Conference match.
