The Blues and the Magpies have only faced each other ten times at Brunton Park over the years. United winning five, drawing one and losing four of those ten matches.
Last time out in Cumbria, Carlisle defeated County 2-1 in mid-April in front of 10,735 spectators on the way to winning the League Two title in the 2005-06 season. Steve Scoffham scoring on 25 minutes for the visitors before Michael Bridges netted in injury time in either half to earn United a valuable three points.
Carlisle's best victory at home to the Magpies came in the old Division Two in front of 1973-74 as 10,209 fans looked on, the Cumbrians winning 3-0 thanks to a brace of goals from Joe Laidlaw and an own goal from David McVay. County's best victory at Brunton Park on the other hand was by the same scoreline in a first round FA Cup replay defeat watched by 3,742 spectators in which Ian McParland (2) and Richard Young scored for the visitors.
