The Grecians are hoping for a late Christmas present on Boxing Day as they head to the Cardiff City Stadium for a 3pm kick-off on Friday.
The match is City's first trip to face Cardiff since 2001 and the boys in red and white will be looking to build on Saturday's brilliant performance and 3-0 win over Barnsley at SJP as they head to South Wales.
Cardiff have responded strongly to being relegated to the third tier of English Football and currently sit top of the League, but they did suffer a 2-1 defeat to Lincoln City on Saturday.
To all the Grecians making the trip - we thank you for your support. Sing loud and sing proud on Boxing Day!
