Exeter City take on Plymouth Argyle in Devon Derby action at the Park this Saturday for the first time since 2019...
It's a match that every City fan has had penciled in the diary since the fixtures were released and one that sold out in quick time!
City come into the match on the back of a pair of defeats to high flying sides Bolton Wanderers and Peterborough but have a lot of positives to take from the performances as we face our closest rivals.
Argyle come into the match second in Sky Bet League One after Saturday's defeat to Lincoln City at Home Park.
Gary Caldwell's Thoughts
Gary Caldwell has given his thoughts as City prepare to take on Plymouth Argyle in Saturday's huge Devon Derby at St James Park.
The A38 clash is the first in EX4 since March 2019, and Caldwell, who has experienced one of the fiercest rivalries in world football - the Old Firm - has spoken about the importance of the game to the club, supporters and the city.
"This game means winning. The big thing in Derby games is winning, that's what everyone wants," he said.
"We are more prepared for this game, but ultimately it is all about winning and giving the supporters what they want. You're going into the lions den and you have to be brave and resilient. My experiences I can pass onto the players but at 12pm on Saturday I want the players to be coursageous and go and win the game, but I want them to feel free and not inhibited in any way.
"If I look back to the Barnsley game here, it was a big game and we needed bravery and relsiience in different moments. In big games you get put under pressure and we have to be a team where we don't concede easily.
"I want the players to be fully ready, free, and go out there and enjoy a massive game of football."
