The Pilgrims travel to the East Devon coast for tonight's Edenvale Turf Devon St Lukes Challenge Cup 2nd Round clash with Exmouth Town.
Though the visitors from League Two are likely to field a young side, the tie poses a tough task for the SWPL Premier side who are facing a club six tiers above themselves.
Town last year stunned St James Park by taking an early lead and holding at 2-2 by the hourmark, eventually losing 4-2 to a mostly professional Exeter City squad.
Exmouth will also take encouragement from Argyle's previous shock losses to Ilfracombe, Dawlish, Barnstaple, Bideford and Tiverton. However, the team in green have also been known to dish out the odd 5-0, and even a 10-1 in this competition.
The game will kick off 19:30 at Southern Road, and will go to penalties if required, rather than a replay. The victors of tonight's tie will travel to Buckland Athletic in the quarter finals.
