If United can win at Grimsby then the omens could be good for a victory at the Galpharm Stadium at the next stage despite Carlisle only ever winning twice at Huddersfield in 19 attempts. That's because one of those successes came this season and the other came in the 1972-73 FA Cup, so the chance is there to do both of those again in one fell swoop.
In the 70's FA Cup encounter a first-half own goal by the Terriers at Leeds Road settled a tightly contested third round replay after the two teams had earlier drawn 2-2 at Brunton Park. Carlisle making it to the last sixteen that season before they lost out 2-1 at home at Arsenal in front of a bumper attendance of 24,000.
