Head2Head & Early Team News - Carlisle (A)

Elsewhere ex-Wednesday and Walsall full back Zigor Aranalde, who came off with a dead leg in last weeks 2-0 defeat at Gillingham is rated as touch and go to take his place at left back, whilst boss Neil McDonald also has concerns over Paul Murray and Adam Bradley. Midfielder Paul Thirwell is a major doubt with a groin injury.

The Millers go into the game hoping to continue their superb form of the last month and with only three games in November plus an FA Cup tie at Peterborough, another decent points haul could see them rise into the top half nicely.

Alan Knill has a concern over recent absentee Gregor Robertson, if he doesn't make the game Paul Hurst will continue at left back. Ian Sharps may return to the bench after a reserve run out against Hartlepool, but Knill is expected to keep faith with Colin Murdock at the heart of the back four.

Eugen Bopp serves a one match suspension after last weeks red card so Justin Cochrane is the automatic replacement to come into midfield. Martin Woods will also complete his final game of a three match ban.
