Bury are playing the same 4-2-3-1 formation they reverted to at Preston, with Wylde and Hewitt on the wings and Worrall sitting in a central role behind lone frontman Hopper.
Blackwell has few attacking options to turn to on the bench, with no strikers named among the substitutes - Lenell John-Lewis, David Healy and Andy Bishop all missing.

3:17pm

3:09pm

6 –Tom  Hopper is unlucky after his header from a Joe Skarz cross on the left is tipped on to the bar by Mark Gillespie
8 – Hopper then scuffs a gilt-edged chance to equalise, making a complete hash of a low rolled ball from Matt Doherty that he met at the back post but skewed his shot wide with the goal at his mercy.

3:01pm

2 - GOAL: CARLISLE 1 Bury 0 - Lee Miller makes it the worst possible start for Bury from the penalty spot. Bury stopper Trevor Carson dived the right way, but it was buried in the corner to his right. Referee Eddie Ilderton wasted no time in pointing to the spot after Bradley Potts was hauled down by Efe Sodje as he knocked the ball past the Bury defender on the byline.

3:00pm

K/O: Bury get the match underway...

Team news

Kevin Blackwell has taken a risk on Gregg Wylde, who extended his loan from Wanderers up until the end of January on Christmas Eve but was then forced to pull out of the Shakers' Boxing Day draw at Preston with the winter sickness bug.

He comes in for Tom Soares, while Troy Hewitt has replaced David Healy in attack, with the Northern Ireland international missing from the squad entirely.

Bury are once again unable to name a full complement on the bench - Blackwell starting with only six of the permitted seven substitutes.

There is a place, however, for development squad stopper Christian Dibble after regular replacement keeper Cameron Belford was snapped up by Accrington Stanley on an emergency seven-day loan this morning. 

2:31pm
