Exeter manager Matt Taylor says his side will need to be at their best if they are to get anything out of their tie against League Two leaders Salford.

The Grecians head to the AIG Stadium on Saturday to face a side who have won seven games on the bounce, including an excellent 4-2 victory away to Walsall on Monday.

However, Exeter have also been in a rich vein of form themselves, having shot up the table in the last month, winning four of the last five games.

Taylor said: "It's one we're really looking forward to, but we'll have to be at our best to get anything out of this game."

He described Salford's showing against Walsall as "outstanding".

"I think anyone who watched that game would testify to that.

"Their attacking play - some of the play which went through their team was above League Two level."

City have a lot of momentum on their side, having come off the back of a 2-1 win against Fleetwood, who just knocked Arsenal out of the League Cup.

But Taylor knows it will be a tighter matchup against Salford.

He said: "The game will turn us into a defensive team, but they've conceded goals as well this season.

"But at the end of the game I don't want to be speaking about their outstanding attacking players, which they clearly have, but about us instead."
