Carlisle welcome Leicester to Cumbria tomorrow, hoping to break their duck at home against the visitors. United only taking one draw from five matches played at Brunton Park against the Foxes over the years.
The last time the two teams met at Carlisle was way back in the early 1980's, Leicester winning an old Division Two match 1-0 in February 1983 thanks to a second-half Kevin MacDonald goal in front of just 4,402 spectators. That season seeing Leicester promoted in third place after earlier in the campaign hammering United 6-0 at Filbert Street.
