Carlisle have only faced the West Yorkshire outfit once before in the League Cup, and that way back in our only ever top flight campaign in 1974-75. Les O'Neill scored the only goal then as the Blues won 1-0 away from home in a second round tie, eventually dropping out at the next hurdle as they slipped to a disappointing 2-0 defeat on the road at the hands of Colchester United.
United have faced City 21 times at home in total over the years, showing an overall record of won nine, drawn five and lost seven in those matches, the Blues both scoring and conceding 36 goals in the process. The last time the two teams met at Brunton Park was the last time the Cumbrians were competing at League One level in 1995-96. The sides fighting out a 2-2 draw in late October, with Carlisle's goals coming from Darren Edmondson and David Reeves in front of a Brunton Park crowd of 6,274.
