Carlisle United may be eight points and five places above Barnet ahead of tomorrow's meeting at Brunton Park, but victory is firmly in joint head coach Henry Newman's sights ahead of a visit to the North West.

The long trip up the M1 and M6 is one few south of the Midlands ever look forward to making, and the Cumbrians have the second-best home record in League 2 this year, losing only one of their 13 home games to date.

That single defeat, however, came against Grimsby barely three weeks ago; Keith Curle's side are on a four-match winless streak, and have yet to pick up three points in 2017.

One man to look out for on Saturday will be top scorer Chrlie Wyke, who has already outperformed his 12-goal league tally from last year, and has four goals in his last eight games.

Joint Bees boss Newman is not tempted to take the Cumbrians lightly, but issued somewhat of a rallying call to his players in the build-up to tomorrow's clash.

"Carlisle have been unlucky in a couple of games recently," he said. "They play very good football, as most of the teams at the top of League 2 do these days.

"It will be a tough game - but we will be going there to win."
