We beat them 2-1 in October in what has been my only visit to Gawthorpe this season. Brad Jackson and Ntumba Massanka were the scorers that day.

Carlisle aren't having the best of seasons. They've won just four of their 16 games and their 16 points sees them sit in 13th place in the 16 team league.

It's rare to see them so far down the league. They've often been title chasers in recent seasons and only last season ended the season as high as sixth., and it was a season in which we failed to beat them.

We drew away 2-2 in November 2013 with goals from Massanka and Khius Metz but later in the season were beaten 2-0 at home against them.

Last time out we beat AFC Wimbledon in the FA Youth Cup but we've failed to pick up any points from our last three league games, this after a run of six consecutive wins.

The team looking to get us back to winning tomorrow morning is: Tony Aghayere, Hamam El-Fitouri, Christian Hill, Andreas Bianga, Shaun Hobson, Andy Nugent, Jamal Crawford, Brad Jackson, Khius Metz, Josh Dolling, Ntumba Massanka. Subs: Connor King, Billy Grogan, Nashé Chakwana, Bayode, Clark.
