Brighton & HA face a trip to Carlisle United at Brunton Park Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Seagulls will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2008, with Carlisle Utd. running out comfortable 2 - 0 winners in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides
Carlisle United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Cumbrians have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Brighton & HA's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 7 leaked at the wrong end.
Carlisle Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 14 points from 15 matches. Brighton & HA see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League One, showing a record of 19 points from their 15 games played so far,
