OPPOSITION PLAYER TO WATCH

Ollie Pearce is enjoying a sensational campaign in front of goal, having already struck 23 times in 26 Enterprise National League appearances, making him one of the most dangerous attackers at this level.

The York City forward was prolific last season too, scoring 31 goals in 47 appearances across all competitions. His sharp instincts in the penalty area and clinical finishing make him a constant threat - and one Carlisle’s defence will need to keep close tabs on during Wednesday night's clash.
