Preview

Jack Fitzwalter's stoppage-time goal was nothing more than a consolation at the weekend as Exeter were beaten 2-1 on the road by reigning National League champions York City. Matt Taylor's side have lost three of their four competitive fixtures this season.

Barnet were made to pay for a brief lapse in concentration in the second half on Saturday, conceding twice in the space of five minutes in a 2-2 draw at home against Cheltenham Town. Dean Brennan's men have won three and drawn one of their last four competitive games heading into gameweek four.
