They are currently second in the Sky Bet League Two, with eight wins and seven draws and safely progressed to the next round of the Emirates FA Cup with an entertaining 5-3 win over St Albans on Sunday.
Key men to watch
Jason Kennedy is the clubs top goal scorer this season, with seven in all competitions, even though he’s a midfielder. He’s never scored more than this in a full season and is in top form at the moment, so he will be definitely looking to add to his tally.
Captain Danny Grainger holds joint second place in the clubs overall goal scoring tally, with 5, and has also grabbed himself three assists. He too isn’t a striker, as Grainger plays left back, and with tons of experience he holds a crucial place in the squad.
Ticket information
Tickets for the match can only be purchased from the Carlisle United ticket office at the ground.
