The Blues welcome the Daggers to Cumbria tomorrow having faced their Essex opponents only once over the years, with the Victoria Road club only being in the league since 2007 having been founded in 1992.
The season the teams did play each other was in the Nationwide Conference in 2004-05 when they picked up a 1-0 win apiece on their home turf. United victorious at Brunton Park thanks to Karl Hawley's 88th minute winner in front of 5,962 fans, while Dagenham won at Victoria Road courtesy of Paul Bruce's 68th minute strike as 1,684 spectators looked on.

Recent respective form guides
Carlisle are unbeaten in their last six home games, winning five of them, and drawing the other one. In this time, the Cumbrians have rattled up an impressive 19 goals, and conceded seven.
In complete contrast to the Blues, Dagenham & Redbridge are having a torrid time on their travels, chalking up just one victory, with five defeats, from their last six away matches. While the Daggers have notched up eight goals, a bumper 15 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Carlisle's 27 points earned from 18 games played sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in ninth position. Dagenham & Redbridge meanwhile are stuck down in the relegation zone, in 23rd, of the Npower League One table with a return of just 15 points from their 18 games contested to date.
