FA Cup R2

Exeter City will host Chesterfield in the second round of the Emirates FA Cup.

The Spireites have made a strong start to life back in the Football League, currently sitting in sixth place. They qualified for the second round with a 3-1 win over Horsham on Saturday. 

This will be the first meeting since City's 2-1 win in April 2018 where Jayden Stockley and a Alex Whitmore own goal secured the three points for the Grecians.

City qualified for the second round after an epic 5-3 victory over Barnet at SJP on Saturday 2 November. Josh Magennis scored a hat-trick, with Jay Bird and Kamari Doyle also on target.

The second round proper ties are to be played between Friday 29 November and Monday 2 December 2024.
