Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Carlisle United & Horsham face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FA Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Carlisle United form and stats
Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the 2nd round.With 1 League Two win, 4 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Carlisle United are certainly not brimming with confidence.

In the match before that, Carlisle hosted Oldham Athletic and drew the League Two game 0-0.There will be little rest for Carlisle United after this match as they are travelling to Morecambe for a EFL Trophy game in only three days.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Carlisle United here at Brunton Park in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 7 games). On the other hand, Carlisle have conceded 7 goals.
Horsham form and stats
They also participated in FA Cup last season. This ended in the 2nd round qualifying.The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the FA Cup stats, they have 4 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses both home and away. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Horsham's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Horsham's previous game was their home loss versus Carshalton Athletic (2-3).
It was a Non League Premier: Isthmian defeat before that one as the away game against Kingstonian wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Margate in just three days.
