Carlisle United can confirm that we will host Championship promotion favourites Sunderland in the second round of this season’s Carabao Cup competition on Tuesday 22 August, kick off 7.45pm.
The Blues saw off one of League One’s pace-setters Fleetwood Town with an impressive away victory courtesy of goals from Shaun Miller and Tom Miller and their reward is a home tie against the Black Cats.
Manager Keith Curle said: “This is a great tie. We want as many people as possible to come and see us take on what is one of the biggest and best supported clubs in the country.
“The fans have done their bit for us already this season and there’s no doubt we’ll need them again in this one. We want Sunderland to come here and face a club that is united, together and pushing each other on to get to the next round.
“We’re hoping to see the place packed, as it was for the Everton game, and with the kind of atmosphere we created in our play-off games. Our fans want success and this is a chance for us to put ourselves up against a great club. I want to make sure we all enjoy the occasion, but also do it properly as we look to progress in what has been a very good competition for us.”
Tickets for the Sunderland Carabao Cup game are available online now.
