Paul Tisdale has called on his players to put in a performance to match the derby atmosphere at St James's Park on Saturday.
The City manager revealed that the club have sold almost 7,000 tickets for the game, which is more than a 1,000 up on last year's attendance for the fixture.
Part of the reason for that is because Argyle have been given 500 extra tickets, in the WTS Stand, and have sold out their increased allocation of 1,700 tickets for the match.
However, there is still expected to be more City fans inside the stadium than usual and, if they get behind the team and make themselves heard, Tisdale says it will have a positive impact on his players.
"The players have responded very well when they have had that support and I expect the same on Saturday," he said.
"We have had really good backing from the supporters this season, but it is a two-way street.
"It is our job to put a performance in that they want to get behind and it is their job to push and drive the team.
"This Saturday, I expect both parties to being doing their best for each other.
"I'm really looking forward to it and I'm expecting a really good game on Saturday, with a really good atmosphere."
The 64th Devon derby will kick-off at 1pm. Fans will not be able to pay on the gate and must purchase tickets in advance. They can do this at the club up until 10am on Saturday.
