Full Match Pack
We look ahead to Saturday as United head for Carlisle United in Sky Bet League 2.
TEAM NEWS
United look to end the perfect week with a third straight win. Michael Appleton's side followed up a home win over Tranmere last weekend with a 3-1 win at Northampton on Tuesday and Michael told Yellow Player
"We are taking it a step at a time. We know we are on the right lines but we don't get carried away after two wins, we just work at keeping that run going. The 18 players we have used in the last two games will be the basically the same again and we want the same attitude and performance from all of them."
The one change is likely to be on the bench. Carlton Morris was recalled from his loan by Norwich City yesterday and his place is likely to go to Alex Jakubiak.

THE OPPOSITION
The Cumbrians won their first three games under new boss Keith Curle but defeats at the hands of Plymouth and Burton have blunted their progress. Curle believes that Saturday's game will give him one last chance to assess the squad he has inherited:
“I'm learning about the players in every game and, in my own mind, we've got one more game before I'll have seen 95% of the squad in a competitive arena. After that I'll be able to make a fair and justified assessment of where those players are in my mind."
Bolton Wanderers defender Hayden White extended his loan this week while experienced striker Derek Asamoah netted his first goal for the club on his debut against Burton in midweek.
