The previous match played between the two at the home of the Blues was within the last three years, in November 2002, when they played out a goalless draw over 90 minutes in an LDV Northern Section Round Two game. Will McDonagh was the hero for United that night as his golden goal winner in extra-time took the Blues a step closer to their eventual appearance in the final at Cardiff.

Recent respective form guides
United's home form is poor, winning just three of their seven league home games and losing the other four. While Cumbrians have scored eight, a worringly large ten have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of the Hatters is none too clever either, accumulating just one victory and three draws from their eight away matches. While County have hit eight goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.
United's 21 points from 15 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in tenth position. The Hatters are currently lying in 19th place in Coca Cola League Two having mustered a points tally of 15 from their 15 matches played.
