Now that the opening fixtures of the 2013-14 season are out of the way, the next item on the campaign agenda for the South West sides is the opening round of the Capital One Cup.
After beating Millwall in their first ever Championship fixture-courtesy of an Ed Upson strike- Yeovil Town travel to Southend United who beat Plymouth Argyle thanks to a single effort from former Exeter City striker Barry Corr.
Throughout their history, the Glovers have carved out a reputation as cup giant-killers, but on this occasion they go into the game as the giant as they are currently a Championship side, whilst Southend are in League Two.
Argyle, however, will assume the mantle of the underdog as they head to the West Midlands to face Birmingham City.
Pilgrims' boss John Sheridan knows what it's like to triumph in the League Cup as an underdog as he famously scored the winner for Sheffield Wednesday.
Their opponents-Birmingham- lifted the cup in 2011 when they beat Arsenal, but currently find themselves in a difficult financial off-the-field and have been forced to sell prize assets such as England Under-21 stars Jack Butland and Nathan Redmond.
Sheridan could also hand a debut to new signing Neal Trotman, a central defender who has signed a deal to remain at Home Park until January 2014.
Exeter City will be looking to follow up their 2-1 opening day win for Bristol Rovers, which was sealed with a debut goal from striker Sam Parkin, with a positive display against Harry Redknapp's Queens Park Rangers.
The R's visited St James' Park in pre-season, so the two sides will be familiar with each other.
If Torquay United can replicate the character they showed to recover from being a goal down to snatch a draw against AFC Wimbledon, then the Gulls could pose a number of problems for Swindon Town.
Aussie defender Aaron Downes inadvertently deflected a long range shot from Harry Pell past Martin Rice before he connected with a cross from substitute Niall Thompson to secure a point for Torquay.
The tie will also see Gulls' winger Billy Bodin and striker Elliot Benyon face their former club.
