Boxing Day 2014 will see Bristol Rovers midfielder Lee Mansell return to Plainmoor (the Launa Windows Stadium) and Paul Buckle face one of his former clubs Exeter City as manager of Cheltenham Town.
Mansell, 32, joined the Pirates in the summer after spending eight years with the Gulls, in which he made 389 appearances, many of them were as captain of the side.
Boxing Day's fixture will also see him face United manager - and his former team-mate - Chris Hargreaves for the first time; the pair were also colleagues at Oxford United before Mansell's move to the Gulls in 2006.
In addition to this, Mansell will also be lining up against his successor as Gulls' captain Luke Young.
Meanwhile, at St James Park, Paul Buckle will be leading his Cheltenham Town side to face Exeter City, a club which he served twice as a player and also as assistant manager to Paul Tisdale.
Buckle, who managed Torquay, Bristol Rovers and Luton Town before heading to America where he worked as Technical Director of the New Yorks Mets Academy, is seeking his first win as manager of the Robins since he was appointed as successor to the long serving Mark Yates.
