Albion made one change as they looked to make it back-to-back wins away to Carlisle today.

Andrew Whing missed out from the side which claimed their first win of the season at home to Wycombe last Saturday.

Whing was ruled out by a dead leg which meant skipper Adam Virgo switched to right-back with Tommy Elphick returning to partner James Tunnicliffe in the centre.

The defence started, therefore, how it finished against Wycombe.

A fit-again Jake Wright and Kevin McLeod returned on the bench but there was no place in the 16 for Dean Cox who did not travel due to illness..

Carlisle lined up as expected with former Seagull Joe Anyinsah in attack alongside Scott Dobie.

Albion: Kuipers; Virgo, Elphick, Tunnicliffe, El-Abd; Bennett, Dicker, Crofts, A.Davies; Dickinson, Forster. Subs: J.Wright, Navarro, McLeod, Hart, Thornhill, C.Davies, G.Smith.

Carlisle: Pidgeley; Raven, Livesey, Murphy, Harte; Hurst, Kavanagh, Thirlwell, Robson; Anyinsah, Dobie. Subs: Bridge-Wilkinson, Horwood, Taiwo, Offiong, Kane, Madine, Collin.

Referee: Andy Haines (Tyne and Wear).
