Carlisle United Football Club

Everything you need to know ahead of the Newport game

United host Newport County on Saturday in the final scheduled home game of the current campaign, and both sides will be going all out for the victory as they look for the points for very different reasons.

Manager Keith Curle said: "We said before the game at Crawley that we needed two wins and a draw from our last three fixtures and nothing has changed. We got the draw on Saturday and we know that we now need to win both games.

"Newport will come to us on a real high having climbed out of the relegation places at the weekend, but they will know that we aren't going to be there to do them any favours.

"We want to end the season on a high and we want to give ourselves every chance of being involved in the play-offs. To do that we need a big performance and a positive result. That's what our focus will be on."
