Carlisle United:
The home team reaches this phase of the FA Cup (3rd Round) after having played previous heats with: Gillingham and Oldham Athletic. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 20 suffered.

The team has conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, so their defense needs to improve, but their attack has scored regularly, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.

There is 1 period that stands out in the last 19 home matches for all competitions: they have suffered 10 of their 24 goals between minutes (46′-60 ‘).
Carlisle United currently disputes the modest English fourth division and has no reason to smile, since it occupies the bottom of the qualifying table. To reach this phase of the FA Cup, the locals eliminated Odham Athletic and Gillingham, and in the latter case a tie-breaker was necessary. In this home game coach Keith Curle must keep the team in a 4-4-3, with the most advanced positions being occupied by Bennett and Hope. However, it is important to note that Hallam Hope is the best marker of Carlisle United in all competitions, with 9 goals scored. Everything indicates that the local team will enter the field at maximum strength.

Normally the trainer Lee Bullen plays in 4-4-2, privileging the possession of ball and the organized attacks, especially through the right flank. However, it is important to note that Gary Hooper is the best finalist of the visiting team, with 11 goals scored. For this game the coach has in doubt Westwood, Fletcher and Bannan, players recovering from injury.
