Almost a year has passed since Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City met in the 60th league meeting between the two sides in a game that promised to decide the outcome of the season for both teams.
A Jason Banton goal on the stroke of half-time proved to be the difference between the sides as Argyle, who were fighting relegation at the time, went on to win and boost their chances of staying in the league and dented the Grecians' Play-Off ambitions in the process.
However, fast forward nearly 12 months later and it is the Pilgrims- who have made considerable progress under the management of John Sheridan- who have ambitions of being involved in the Play-Offs, whilst City desperately need three points to retain their status as a League Two club.
In his post-match press conference after their 1-0 victory over the Grecians in March last year, Sheridan admitted that he was jealous of players and stated that he would have loved to been playing in the match himself.
When a manager shows that level of passion, it surely must rub off on his players.
Also for Sheridan, a place in the Play-Offs would give him a shot at winning a second promotion as a manager to go with the League Two title triumph he enjoyed with Chesterfield in the 2010-11 season.
Due of the number of managerial changes in the past year, Grecians boss Paul Tisdale is now the second longest serving manager of the 92 managers currently employed in the Premiership and the Football League behind Arsene Wenger.
Since taking charge of the Grecians, Tisdale has faced three Argyle managers (Peter Reid, Carl Fletcher and Sheridan) and will be facing his fourth Torquay United boss when Chris Hargreaves brings his Gulls side to Plainmoor on Easter Monday.
And the possibility of completing a league double over both of their Devon rivals is still a realistic prospect for the Grecians after having recorded wins over both the Pilgrims and the Gulls in their previous encounters this season.
