GRECIANS AND GLOVERS PREPARE FOR CUP REPLAYS

Exeter City and Yeovil Town will have the second chance of reaching the third round of the FA Cup when they play their respective replays against Forest Green Rovers and Port Vale tomorrow night.

The Grecians, who famously took Liverpool to a third round replay in the 2015-16 campaign, will be facing another Premier League side in the form of West Bromwich Albion if they see off the challenge of Forest Green, who they drew 3-3 with in the original tie.

Forest Green are, of course, managed by former Exeter midfielder Mark Cooper, the son of former Grecians manager Terry Cooper.

Meanwhile the Glovers, who have been the subject of a takeover rumour recently, host Port Vale after drawing 1-1 at Vale Park and a home tie with League One Bradford City - conquerors of Plymouth Argyle in the second round - awaits the winner.
