The magic of the Emirates FA Cup returns to St James Park on Saturday as the Grecians take on National League North side AFC Fylde in a 1pm kick-off as the sides meet for the first time.
Both sides come into the clash in very good form and both are unbeaten in their last ten matches.
Ahead of the 1pm kick-off, Exeter City manager Matt Taylor has said that it's a competiton the team want to go far in, but have to be wary of the threats an AFC Fylde side, packed with Football League experience will provide.
"It's a game we want to win and a competition we want to progress in." said Matt.
"They have recruited well and they have a lot of players with league experience or are on loan from the Football League. We know how difficult it can be so we will look at the personnel within our squad and attack the game this weekend."

AFC FYLDE'S LAST MATCH
Alfreton Town 1 AFC Fylde 1 | November 3, 2020 | National League North
Luke Burke’s sensational first-half strike wasn’t enough to secure an eighth successive win for Jim Bentley’s side. Alfreton’s Elliott Reeves equalised early in the second-half, before substitute Jack Sampson was given his marching orders for a late tackle on former AFC Fylde midfielder, Dan Bradley.
