Exeter City make the mammoth trip to Cumbria to face Carlisle United on Saturday in a 3pm kick-off at Brunton Park.
The Grecians will be looking to solidify their place in the automatic promotion places on Saturday, and go into the match on the back of a six-match unbeaten run that has picked up fourteen points.
Carlisle head into the match on the back of a late 2-2 draw with high-flying Tranmere Rovers last time out, and are in good form, having won three of their last five matches to ease their relegation fears.

Matt Taylor's Thoughts
Exeter City manager Matt Taylor is expecting a tough clash when the Grecian make the 700-mile return journey to Brunton Park on Saturday.
The Grecians face a side that drew with high-flying Tranmere Rovers last Saturday and have picked up wins over promotion hopefulls Northampton Town and Bristol Rovers recently.
"They are one of the form teams and since the manager has taken over he has done a fantastic job," said Matt. "They were in a relegation battle at the time and to see that form turn around has been incredible and inspirational so full credit to Carlisle but we hope that form ends this week at the expense of ourselves.
"We generally play well when we go up there, the pitch suits us so we will have a good feeling about the environment."
City will once more be backed by an incredible support as over 350 tickets have already been sold for the mammoth journey, and Matt was full of praise for the travelling Grecians.
"It's incredible and has been throughout the season. We went to Barrow third game of the season having not won or scored yet, and they supported us really well on a windy, wet night.
"They make the journey and the sacrifices so much and we appreciate it and look forwad to seeing them on Saturday."
