Carlisle – Derby preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Carlisle vs Derby lineups.
Carlisle
Carlisle are about to face derby for the first time since 1984. The Cumbrians are still adjusting to life in the higher division and they’ve been able to win just once in their opening eight league outings.
In their last match, Carlisle did well to deserve a 1-1 away draw vs Lincoln. Withstood some fierce late pressure without too much trouble. Going forward offered little thought.
The team’s star centre-back Barcley is the big absentee right now. He remains in the treatment room. Striker Kayode is facing a late fitness test due to a hamstring issue. He’s mainly used off the bench anyway.
Predicted Lineup:
Andresson (GK), Lavelle, Huntingdon, Mellish, Back, Guy, Moxon, Gibson, Armer, Plange & Maguire
Derby
Derby were held to a frustrating 1-1 home draw by Portsmouth last weekend. The Rams took the lead in the last minute only to concede an equaliser deep in added time. Once again, there was no conviction in the display.
Derby have mixed 3 wins with 3 defeats in their first 7 games and they still search for some stability.
Influential playmaker Hourihane got off injured in this last match and it seems he will be absent now. The other key inner midfielder Bird is already sidelined so this opens a massive hole in that area. Recently signed Embleton and Fornah are likely to be provided cover.
In better news, Collins scored his first goal of the season in the last match and this could be enough to see him starting ahead of Washington. Also, Barkhuizen is finally fully fit and ready to play his first minutes of the campaign.
Predicted Lineup:
Wildsmith (GK), Cashin, Nelson, Forsyth, Mendez-Laing, Smith, Embleton, Fornah, Barkhuizen, Collins & Waghorn
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Martyn Waghorn
Derby’s only reliable goal provider so far had been veteran striker Martyn Waghorn. He netted 5 goals in just the last 5 rounds and last weekend failed to score only because on two occasions stunning saves were denying him.
Waghorn is the go-to-man up front and with Derby’s threat from the wings better now Barkhuizen is fit we can expect more goals from Waghorn in the coming match.
