Exeter City have the opportunity to bounce back from defeat at Wrexham on Saturday when they face another high-flying side in Birmingham City on Tuesday at a SOLD OUT SJP.
Birmingham were expected to be the team to beat in League One this season, but currently sit fourth in the table after 14 matches following 3 matches without victory after a 3-2 defeat at Shrewsbury Town at the weekend.
This will be the first league meeting between the two sides in 32 years, when the Grecians won 2-1 in the old Division Three.

Gary Caldwell's Thoughts
"They were beaten by Shrewsbury at the weekend and it didn't surprise me because no result in football surprises me. Having watched it back, Birmingham should have won the game, with the amount of chances they had, but Shrewsbury were ruthless and punished them.
"We have to analyse Blues for what they are and that is a very good football team."

Previous Encounter
Exeter City 1 Birmingham City 2 | 19/08/1999 | League Cup First Round, Second Leg
It's been 25 years since the teams last met it any competition - the second leg of a first round Worthington Cup tie. The first leg in the second city was a 3-0 win for the Blues.
A Jon Richardson own goal and a Martin O'Connor effort put Blues two ahead before Barry McConnell's penalty kick reduced the arrears on the night.
