Promotion chasing Northampton Town will make the long journey north on Saturday to face Carlisle United at Brunton Park in League Two. Kick-off is at 15:00 GMT.
Carlisle's excellent run of form recently sees them in a much better position than they were this time last month when they sat in 22nd place, just two points clear of the drop zone.
Now they sit 18th, a healthy, but by no means comfortable, six points clear of the dreaded drop to the National League.
Northampton currently sit second in the division and have closed the gap to runaway leaders Forest Green Rovers to eight points but will be wary of teams around them who have games in hand.

Ones to watch
Omari Patrick has been Carlisle's man of the moment in recent weeks and his goals have been crucial in pushing United away from the relegation zone.
Patrick has been in incredible form and has scored three in his last three, doubling his goal tally for the season to six goals in 12 appearances.
The 25-year-old scored to begin United's comeback against Oldham Athletic last weekend before Morgan Feeney's last-minute winner earned the Blues a huge win in their fight for survival.
It may come as a shock that Northampton's one to watch is a central defender, however, Fraser Horsfall has been fantastic in front of goal from this season.
Along with Sam Hoskins, Horsfall is the Cobblers' top scorer this season with eight goals.
The Yorkshireman has been so dangerous from set-pieces for Jon Brady's side this season and scored twice last weekend in Northampton's 3-2 win over promotion rivals Tranmere Rovers.
