Carlisle United host high-flying Norwich City at Brunton Park this Saturday as both teams hope to progress to the Third Round of The FA Cup sponsored by E.ON, and the match will be streamed live on TheFA.com
The League One rivals enter the tie on the back of excellent midweek results as Norwich beat Brighton 4-1 at Carrow Road and Carlisle battled to a 4-3 victory away to MK Dons.
The two teams have already met once this season and it was Paul Lambert's side who came out on top, when a first-half goal from Wes Hoolahan was enough to give the Canaries all three points at Greg Abbot's Carlisle.
Lambert said: "I'm looking forward to the game, as we're on a great run at the minute.
"It will be tough, though, and we know what to expect. You're never over-confident, but we've only lost twice in fourteen games, so we'll go there with a lot of confidence and try to win."
Norwich will be trying to emulate their team of 1958/59 which beat Manchester United and Tottenham on their way to an FA Cup Semi-Final defeat by Luton Town.
Lambert, who replaced Bryan Gunn at Carrow Road shortly after the start of the season, added: "It'd be great to take Norwich on a Cup run. If we can get through this round and draw one of the massive teams it would be fantastic for us.
"To play at home against a Premiership side would be brilliant."
Despite growing up in Scotland and playing all of his professional football there, bar a spell in Germany, still took an interest in what was happening south of the border.
He said: "I remember some great FA Cup games from when I was growing up. The 1980 Final when Tottenham beat Manchester City in a replay was a cracking game. When I was younger The FA Cup was a massive, massive thing and everyone knows the prestige of the competition is terrific."
