Exeter City have decided to name one striker in attack in the shape of Tom Nichols as they welcome fierce local rivals Torquay United in League Two this afternoon.

The lone striker will be supported by a five-man midfield made up of Liam Sercombe, Matt Oakley, Matthew Gill, Scot Bennett and Eliot Richards.

Meanwhile, all-but-relegated Torquay have opted for a similar formation, which sees Tottenham Hotspur loanee Shaquile Coulthirst starting in attack.

Torquay will be relying on the likes of Nathan Craig and Courtney Cameron to pull the creative strings in midfield.

Exeter City: Pym; Butterfield, Baldwin, Moore-Taylor, Woodman; Sercombe, Oakley, Gill, Bennett, Richards; Nichols

Torquay United: Rice; Tonge, Pearce, Lathrope, Mansell, Cameron, Craig, Benyon, Coulthirst, O'Connor, Cargill
