Preston North End will play their second game in three days on Tuesday evening in the JPT...
It will be a quick turnaround for Preston North End as the squad prepare for their first round Johnstone’s Paint Trophy clash against Carlisle United; 48 hours after their 4-1 win over Swindon Town.
The Lilywhites have enjoyed a successful week, with two 4-1 victories at Deepdale alongside the deadline day signing of striker Stuart Beavon.
Heading north to Cumbria, North End last season reached the regional semi-finals of the competition, only to lose to eventual champions Chesterfield on penalties, and boss Graham Westley will want to maintain the Club’s winning run against United.

The Cumbrians
The Blues head into the game having had a mixed start to the season, having picked up four points from their first four league matches.
