Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Leyton Orient in 11th and Carlisle United in 10th place.
Carlisle United could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a League Two game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Cheltenham Town. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Leyton can neither be promoted or relegated from League Two. Carlisle are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
