National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Carlisle United or Cardiff City that keep their silverware dream alive.

Cardiff City was sent out of FA Cup in the 3rd round last season.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Cardiff City so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 2-6-6 (win-draw-lose).
