| Tom Anderson - back from injury |
Leading goalscorer Shay McCartan is again on international duty and will be missing as will James Taylor who has suffered a long term injury. Also ruled out this week are first year scholars Jack Errington and Luke Conlan although there is good news with the return of Tom Anderson.
Tom was stretchered off recently with a suspected broken leg but it was nothing like as serious and it's a real boost to have him back in the side, alongside Alex Coleman in the centre of defence.
Two of the under-16 team, Charlie Holt and Jordan Scott will start. For Holt it is a second game but this will be Scott's first appearance at this level.
The subs bench is made up entirely of centre of excellence players with goalkeeper Callum Jakovlevs and Daniel Mukuna, like Holt and Scott, from the under-16s and two under-15 players Waqas Azam and Jamie Frost.
We go into the game in fifth place in the Youth Alliance League and face one of the early front runners in Carlisle. They are third with six wins and two defeats from their first eight games and will be looking towards that top place currently held by Preston who have one point more.
Burnley have six points less but have a game in hand having won four and lost seven so far.
The team tomorrow is; Josh Cook, Aryn Williams, Tom Anderson, Alex Coleman, Charlie Holt, Jordan Scott, Steven Hewitt, Archie Love, Adam Evans, Alex Mullin, Jason Gilchrist. Subs: Callum Jakovlevs, Waqas Azam, Jamie Frost, Daniel Mukuna.
