Match Preview: Wigan Athletic (H)

Wigan Preview

After a week of Cup action, Exeter City return to home league football on Saturday, as we host Wigan Athletic in a 3pm kick-off.

City will be looking for a fourth win on the spin on Saturday after wins against Plymouth Argyle, Arsenal U21s in the Vertu Trophy and Saturday's 2-0 win over Halifax Town in the Emirates FA Cup first round.

The Latics arrive at St James Park having survived a scare in the FA Cup on Saturday after they beat Hemel Hempstead on penalties on Saturday. Last time out in the league they picked up a 1-1 draw with Mansfield Town.

Your support makes a huge difference at our home, SJP. So come and back the boys in red and white as we look to pick up three points at the Park on Saturday.

Remembrance Service

Exeter City's match against Wigan Athletic on Saturday, November 8 will feature our highly regarded pre-match remembrance ceremony prior to kick-off.

Prior to kick off we will be asking supporters to join with the directors, players of both Clubs and match officials in observing a minute’s silence during our EFL Clubs’ Together Remembrance Observation.

The players will line up in front of the Navada Construction main stand.  Wreaths will be laid by the Deputy Lieutenant for HM King and County of Devon, the Lord Mayor for the Citizens of the City of Exeter, both captains and the Referee and supporters representing Wigan Athletic and Exeter City.

Thanks to Cans4City, our players will wear a special warm up shirt with the names of City players lost in combat embroidered in our badge.  These will be signed post-match, collected and auctioned - further details to follow.

Match Day Programme

The Grecian is back, with a brand new look for the 2025/26 season! This season's Grecian will include a feature interview with one of the squad each week, and this week it is the turn of Akeel Higgins to share his career story.
