Newport are without Paul Bignot for six games after he lost an appeal against an alleged biting offence.

The right-back, who denied the charge, is banned following an incident during County's 2-2 draw with Cheltenham Town in September.

Josh O'Hanlon and Jack Jebb could make their senior debuts for Newport after signing on non-contract terms this week.

The pair featured in the 2-0 Checkatrade Trophy victory over AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday, having joined Graham Westley's League Two basement side earlier that day.

Carlisle boss Keith Curle won Sky Bet League Two's manager of the month award for October with midfielder Jason Kennedy taking the players' award.

Kennedy is set to return to the team on Saturday as the club's top goalscorer was rested in midweek.

High-flyers Carlisle have scored 20 goals in their last six games, whilst setting a club record of eight consecutive victories.

Club captain Danny Grainger will be looking to set another record on Saturday. The full back has scored in six consecutive games, which equals a club record.
