However, this confidence will have to be taken with caution despite their rivals finding themselves winless in the last nine games – as Carlisle will be looking for a much needed three points.

Carlisle who suffered relegation last season and will not be filled with too much confidence.

And with the Ammies beating them in their last meeting 3-2 thanks to late Luke Bolton winner, Carlisle will be desperate to get revenge.

But with Karl Robinson’s Salford hot in form, Carlisle’s new head coach Mike Williamson will likely struggle, only picking up eight points from a possible 42.

With Salford having the home advantage, they will be hoping to use this came to maintain their winning form in front of their home fans.

And a victory will be the difference, with a win for the Ammies could lift the club into the playoff positions should the results go their way.

Karl Robinson will certainly be looking to the likes of 20-year-old midfielder Kelly N’Mai to provide something special against the Cumbrians following the Dutchman’s form earning himself a League Two player of the month nomination.
