Preview - Carlisle United

Craig Singleton20 Mar - 12:49

Boston United are back on the road in the National League when they visit Carlisle United on Saturday afternoon (kick-off 3.00pm).

United head north, chasing their first-ever victory at Brunton Park, having lost 5-2 in Cumbria in October’s Emirates FA Cup tie between the sides.

The Blues also nicked a last-gasp 2-1 win at the Jakemans Community Stadium in November – ensuring Mark Hughes’ side have enjoyed the upper hand over the Pilgrims so far this season.

With Paul Hurst now at the United helm, the Pilgrims will hope for a change of fortunes against a Carlisle side who look set to finish the season in third place behind runaway pair Rochdale and York City.

Hurst could involve Lenell John-Lewis, who has already scored twice against the Cumbrians this season, while fellow striker Jacob Hazel is nearing a return after 11 months on the sidelines.

Zak Mills, Jacob Scott and Dylan Hill are all nearing returns too – but Jordan Cropper will play no further part this season.
