The FA Cup 4th round comes to an end tonight as League 1 Exeter City host Premier League side Nottingham Forest at St James Park.
This weekend’s action packed fixtures have shown that the magic of the FA Cup is still intact and will give Exeter hope that they can add to the upsets this round.
This is the first time the 2 sides have met since the 21st of April 1951, with Nottingham Forest winning that game 5-0, something Exeter will be looking to avoid tonight. The Gracians are yet to beat Forest in their 123 year history, losing 2 and drawing 2.
Current Form:
| Exeter | Nottingham Forest |
| Stevenage 4-1 Exeter – 01/02/25 | Nottingham Forest 7-0 Brighton – 01/02/25 |
| Exeter 2-6 Leyton Orient – 28/01/25 | Bournemouth 5-0 Nottingham Forest – 25/01/25 |
| Exeter 1-3 Blackpool – 25/01/25 | Nottingham Forest 3-2 Southampton – 19/01/25 |
| Peterborough 1-1 Exeter – 21/01/25 | Nottingham Forest 1-1 Liverpool – 14/01/25 |
| Birmingham 1-0 Exeter – 18/01/25 | Nottingham Forest 2-0 Luton – 11/01/25 |
Nottingham Forest are expected to be without Callum Hudson-Odoi for tonight’s game, with rotation to be expected from Nuno Espírito Santo.
Gary Caldwell’s side will have a full cohort to choose from for tonight’s game, with injuries not being the reason for their recent poor form.
Solent Sports News journalist, Marlon Darragh, is at St James Park and will be providing live updates throughout the game.
Coverage is available on the Solent Sports News Youtube channel from 7pm.
