Carlisle United are tonight eyeing their best winning run for more than three years.

And bookies give them a 2/1 chance of recording a fifth straight victory against Newport County at Brunton Park.

That price is offered by a string of bookmakers including Bet365, SkyBet and William Hill, with Unibet and BetVictor offering marginally longer odds of 11/5 and 21/10 respectively.

If Carlisle win toight it will be their best victory sequence since the six successive wins reeled off by the Blues under John Sheridan and caretakers Tommy Wright and Paul Murray in December 2018-January 2019.

Having beaten the division's second-placed side, it is third-placed Newport tonight - and the promotion-chasing Welsh side are 13/10 to win and halt Paul Simpson's winning streak in the proces.

That price is offered by bookmakers such as SkyBet and Paddy Power, while James Rowberry's Exiles are 5/4 for victory with Unibet.

The draw is 12/5.

Newport, who are unbeaten in six, include one of League Two's best strikers in 25-goal Dom Telford.

He scored twice against he Blues in this season's previous meeting, and is 7/2 favourite to open the scoring tonight.

For the Blues, Kristian Dennis is 15/2 to get the first goal and open his United account in the process.

Tobi Sho-Silva, who came off the bench to get the opener against Northampton, is 15/2 to do the same this evening.

Penalty-taker Jordan Gibson is 6/1 to score at any stage in the game.

This fixture last season saw a Jon Mellish double, and if you fancy the defender to repeat the feat, he is 40/1 to score two or more.

A third straight 2-1 Carlisle win is 21/2, while Newport are 15/8 to keep a third straight clean sheet.
