Plymouth Argyle boss Tom Cleverley says he is "blessed" to have three in-form strikers available for the Devon Derby against Exeter City on Saturday lunchtime.

Cleverley celebrated a 10th away league win on Easter Monday, with striker Owen Oseni scoring twice and Lorent Tolaj also netting in a comprehensive 3-0 victory at Oakwell.
Oseni, 22, now has 10 goals in all competitions since arriving from Scottish side St Mirren in June, joining Tolaj (19) and Bim Pepple (15) on double figures this term, after volleying home left-footed in the first half before sending a penalty past Barnsley keeper Owen Goodman in the second period, either side of Tolaj's strike.
"I'm blessed in that area of the pitch," Cleverley told BBC Radio Devon. "That's all three of them in double figures this season now, and there's a lot of people that should be proud about that.
"First of all the players themselves, but the staff and the hard work that has gone into three players who practically have zero experience at this level at of the start of the season."
Oseni deputised in place of Pepple who missed the trip with a calf strain.
Cleverley called the injury "very minor" after the game, adding: "It's a big game on Saturday for many reasons. If it wasn't as big, would we give him a couple of extra days [off]? Maybe. But he's right there."

Oseni has had to be patient to earn a place in Cleverley's starting line-up, finding chances limited due to the impressive form shown by Tolaj and Pepple after suffering an injury against Wycombe Wanderers in December.
Having scored in the 3-1 win against Huddersfield on 21 March, Oseni's double gives Cleverley a good selection headache before the derby against their local rivals on Saturday [12:30 BST].
Oseni told BBC Radio Devon: "It's a good feeling of accomplishment [to reach double figures for goals]. I think as a strike force that's what we set out to do at the beginning of the season and completing that felt really good.
"I was the most confident player on the pitch. I thought I was going to send the keeper the wrong way [with the penalty] - he got a hand to it but it wasn't enough.
"Getting injured was a real setback for me, but I went away for about four, five weeks and put in the work in the gym. Now I've got my chance to be starting a few games and I'm really happy.
"I spoke to Bim (Pepple) just after the game and he's buzzing for me and I'm buzzing for myself. We set out for everyone to hit double digits by the end of the season. Hopefully the boys are buzzing for me."
