Season ticket holders at Brunton Park haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Carlisle United languishing in the 20th position so far. The guesting Cambridge United will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Cambridge United could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a FA Cup game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Exeter City, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Cambridge United.
