The article from MSN Sports discusses Exeter City's anticipation and preparation for their FA Cup match against Wigan Athletic, reflecting on their historic encounter with Manchester United 20 years ago. Exeter, a League One side, is set to face Wigan, a team from a higher division, in the FA Cup third round. The piece highlights the significance of the FA Cup for smaller clubs like Exeter, recalling their memorable 2005 match against Manchester United where they managed a 0-0 draw at home before losing in the replay. Manager Gary Caldwell, who has a history with Wigan, is looking to leverage the magic of the cup to potentially upset the odds again. The article also touches on the broader appeal of the FA Cup, where lower league teams get a chance to compete against and sometimes defeat top-tier teams, creating memorable moments in football history.
