Match preview

Carlisle have been having a difficult season in Sky Bet League Two but they look solid favourites to beat National League South hosts Dulwich Hamlet in the FA Cup first round.

Dulwich Hamlet won promotion to the sixth tier in 2017-18 but have been struggling this season, going nine matches without a league win.

Gavin Rose's side have saved their better performances for the FA Cup and won 2-1 at National League South highflyers Havant and Waterlooville in the final qualifying round.

However, they face a step up in class against Carlisle, who should advance without the need for a replay.

Key stat

Dulwich Hamlet have kept one clean sheet in their last 11 matches.
