Bristol Rovers are targeting an 11th straight home league victory, which would be a new club record, as they welcome Exeter City. Steve Evans has selected a team that includes Alfie Kilgour, who is back from injury and will lead the side.

Kilgour features in a back three with Kofi Balmer and Ciaran Kelly, marking his first league appearance this season. Jack Sparkes and Tom James provide width, while Ritchie Smallwood and Clinton Mola play centrally in midfield. The forward line consists of Shaq Forde, Fabrizio Cavegn and Ellis Harrison.

Keenan Gough is back among the substitutes after his own injury recovery, with Bobby Kamwa, Joe Quigley and Philip Sanyaolu also on the bench. Jack Aitchison is not included.

In League Two, Bristol Rovers currently hold sixth place. They have accumulated 12 points from their opening seven matches. Their results from the last five games include three victories.

The side now looks ahead to a trip to face Crewe Alexandra.
