Exeter City face League One leaders Huddersfield Town in the FA Cup first round on Saturday. The Grecians, relegated from the third tier last season, are now 12th in League Two after a recent improvement in form.

Exeter have won four matches and drawn one of their last six games in all competitions, moving a point off the play-off spots. They were unbeaten in six games before losing late on at League Two leaders Salford City on Saturday.

Middielder Reece Cole told BBC Radio Devon the team would 'rise to the occasion'. 'I wouldn't say we're in a no-lose situation, obviously it's clear that we are the underdogs,' he said. 'But I always feel like we rise to the occasion and step up well.' Cole added he hoped to make positive FA Cup memories after missing a penalty against Nottingham Forest and losing 10-1 to Manchester City in recent seasons.
