It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Carlisle United (placed 12th) in their previous outing. The EFL Trophy match ended in a draw 3-3.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Carlisle United was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
