Carlisle boss Greg Abbott could hand debuts to new signings Leon McSweeney and Conor Townsend for that home game with Port Vale. Former Leyton Orient utility man McSweeney and defender Townsend, on loan from Hull, could bolster the Cumbrians' shaky defence as Sean O'Hanlon continues his recovery from your groin injury.
Townsend will end up the 5th player to get started on for Carlisle at left-back in 2010 if selected, while centre-half Troy Archibald-Henville is predicted to retain his devote the starting line-up after making his debut in last week's draw at Brentford.
But two other on-loan defenders, Mansfield's Paul Black (groin) and Manchester United's Reece James (thigh) are both sidelined as Carlisle chase their first win with the season. Dan Jones remains a physical injury concern for Port Vale but Gavin Tomlin could retort into the reckoning.
Jones was forced served by a groin injury through the first half Vale's league defeat to Wolves last Saturday creating the left-back to miss the victory over Bury inside the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, and that he will probably stay with the sidelines a few days ago. However, striker Tomlin looks set to return to the squad following knock which has kept him out recently.
Manager Micky Adams made five changes up against the Shakers on Tuesday night, bringing Richard Duffy, Liam Chilvers, Chris Birchall, Louis Dodds and Ben Williamson into your side.
Adams admitted following the 2-1 first-round win that he didn't know what team however pick at Carlisle just because a hard-working effort against Bury had compensated for some defensive frailties.
