EMIRATES FA CUP: United drawn to face Orient away

The Blues head to east London for their first-round tie

15 October 2023

Carlisle United have been drawn to face Leyton Orient away in the first-round of this season's Emirates FA Cup competition.

Having just played each other at Brunton Park this weekend, the teams will come together again at the start of next month. 

The sides have met just once before in the FA Cup, way back in December 1936, when the Blues enjoyed a 4-1 victory.

Speaking after the draw was made, manager Paul Simpson said: "It should make for a good game but I'm massively disappointed for the supporters who have to travel again after all the miles they already have to cover anyway during our season."

Ties to be played over the weekend 3/4/5/6/7 November - full match details to follow.
