Carlisle relishing a meeting with flagging Tranmere

As the coldest winter since 1963 establishes its grip on the country. Carlisle are set to make the trip to flagging Tranmere Rovers on new years day with a sense of optimism.

The Wirral side have not managed a win on the last three occasions at home or away. Being comprehensively beaten and justifying their teetering position of the relegation zone of the Npower league one table.

By contrast, Carlisle have shown phenomenal form this season being just three points off the promotion play offs later this season, despite only keeping three clean sheets this season.

Tranmere manager Les Parry will be looking for an upturn in his fortunes as his side continue to suffer from injury problems with 3 players likely to be unavailable for this tie.

Problems Prenton Park are obvious. They have only taken only 9 wins so far this season. And kept only five clean sheets, suggesting that the transfer window in January cannot come soon enough if there is to be any improvements in their fortunes.

Parry will also have to keep an eye on Carlisle striker Madine whom has scored eight league goals and five in the FA Cup and second only to Peterborough's Craig Mackall-Smith.

What makes Carlisle United's position in division one is that four of their first team defenders have been sidelined with long term injury leaving their reserve defenders to step up to the plate. Indeed Danny Livesey was reported to be so completely fed up and frustrated with his groin injury. He never wants to see the Carlisle physio ever again.

But given the current form of Carlisle in recent games. Tranmere are already looking like the lamb to be slaughtered by the wolf.

This game promises goals from both sides after an injury hit early December. So as the bleak mid winter sets in, why not consider stay at one of our apartments in Liverpool with Urban Chic.
