Accrington Stanley vs Exeter City preview - As you were for Stanley

Accrington have no new injury worries ahead of Friday night's League Two clash with Exeter at the Store First Stadium.

Adam Buxton remains absent after being sidelined since mid-September due to injury and illness problems, but he has returned to light training.

Will Hatfield is also unavailable to John Coleman after completing a loan move to Conference outfit Halifax.

Stanley captain Luke Joyce is in line to make his 250th appearance for the club as Accrington seek a fifth straight home win in all competitions.

Exeter could involve up to three new faces when they make the trip north.

Fans' favourite Ryan Harley returned from Swindon last week and could feature on the bench alongside striker Clinton Morrison, who arrived on a non-contract basis on Thursday.

While Harley and Morrison are highly unlikely to start due to a lack of match fitness, Alex Nicholls could step back into Paul Tisdale's XI having returned to St James Park for a second loan spell from Northampton.

Jamie Reid, Jordan Moore-Taylor and Pat Baldwin remain sidelined and Tisdale admitted a few of his squad are struggling with knocks and he will leave it as late as possible to name his line-up.
