Northampton pack their bags to visit Carlisle United at Brunton Park Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Cobblers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The previous match played between the two at Brunton Park Stadium was more than three years back, in April 2000, with Northampton inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Cumbrians in a League Division Three match.
