Opportunity Knocks

Ryan France - a possible starter for City

Stuart Elliott is away on international duty, leaving a gap on left wing. Taylor has hinted that City will go looking for goals against bottom-of-the-league Carlisle with it being a home game, so Andy Holt and Dean Keates are likely to be left on the bench. Ryan France could make his full league debut, or Ryan Williams may get his first call-up of the season.

Meanwhile, Damien Delaney is "extremely doubtful" after tweaking his hamstring. Right-back Alton Thelwell is expected to come back into the side after a foot injury, with Richard Hinds moving across into Delaney's centre back position. Marc Joseph isn't yet fit to return from a knee injury.

Taylor won't be looking to make any further changes as City aim to extend their winning streak to five games.

It's predicted that the KC Stadium could be at its legal capacity of 22,700. Over 17,000 tickets have already been sold, while fans may also pay at the turnstiles if there are any spare seats.

Expected line-up (4-4-2): Musselwhite; Thelwell, Whittle, Hinds, Dawson; Price, Green, Ashbee, Williams; Allsopp, Burgess.
Subs: Fettis, Holt, Keates, France, Forrester.
