• These two sides had the luxury of facing each other twice in last season’s Devon derby, but with Plymouth and Exeter now preparing for campaigns in different divisions, this EFL Cup tie could end up being the only derby meeting of the year — adding a bit more weight to the occasion.
• Plymouth Argyle have reached the second round of this competition in their last three appearances. A strong pre‑season should give them confidence: unbeaten across six friendlies (W5, D1), and now twelve games without defeat in all competitions, Argyle look in good shape heading into the new campaign.
• Tom Cleverley’s side will have one eye on pushing for promotion from League One this season, and that remains their main priority, but they still go into this tie as heavy favourites at 2/5 with William Hill.

• If Exeter’s pre-season results are anything to go by, it could be a long season for The Grecians, they’ve won just one of their four friendlies with two defeats coming against two non-league sides, a really worrying sign.
• Exeter City have fallen at the first hurdle in each of their last two EFL Cup appearances and avoiding a repeat means getting past their neighbours here, but they’ve won none of their last four visits to Home Park, with their last victory here coming back in 2015 during a League Two encounter.
• Given the concern around Exeter so far under Matt Taylor, especially they won just one game in his thirteen League One games in charge last season, it’s easy to see why they are the underdogs in this Devon derby, William Hill have priced the Grecians at 5/1 to win this in 90 minutes.
