Tisdale: Missing Saunders
Saunders has been ruled out with a knee injury, but City boss Paul Tidsdale has no other injury concerns as his side look to avenge their 1-0 defeat to the Shrews on August 16.
The Grecians' squad includes fit-again Dean Moxey, who came on as a substitute in the defeat to Luton.
Moxey continues to regain match fitness after a foot injury and has been introduced for the final 25 minutes in City's past two games.
