Home   /   Schumacher and Caldwell relishing Devon Derby test

High flying Plymouth Argyle host newly promoted Exeter City in the Devon derby at Home Park for the first time in five years when they met in League two.

Recently appointed Exeter manager Gary Caldwell is looking forward to the occasion.

“They are top of the League for a reason and playing well so we will look at them and be really prepared to be as good as we were defensively on Tuesday and to attack better to cause them problems”.

Plymouth have a 100%-win record at home this season, having only conceded four goals at Home Park. Schumacher on the other hand is using his sides experience to try and gain an edge going into the game.

“The closer it gets to the game, there’s a few players who have experienced it, who know what this game is all about, so we’ll be leaning on them to let the other lads who don’t know what it is about know how important it is.”

For the visitors there are a few injuries. Both keepers Jamal Blackman and Harry Lee are touch and go for the game after suffering injuries against Derby. Centre-back Cheick Diabate may return to the squad for Monday whilst for the hosts only Finn Azaz is out after coming off at half-time on Saturday.
