Kristian Dennis has a 15/8 chance of making history at Brunton Park today.

That's the price bookmakers offer for the Carlisle United frontman to score for a sixth consecutive game against Gillingham.

If Dennis finds the net today he will become the first Blues player to score in their first six games of a season.

The feat would see him overtake Alan Ashman (1953) and Davie Hutchison (1929) who, like Dennis, scored in the first five matches of a campaign.

Dennis - Carlisle's only scorer in the league so far - is 5/1 favourite to get the first goal today, meanwhile, with Omari Patrick 7/1 to open the scoring.

Mikael Mandron is 15/2 to net first for Gillingham with Scott Kashket 17/2.

Longer shots to score first in the game include Jordan Gibson at 9/1, Jayden Harris at 18/1 Paul Huntington at 28/1 and Fin Back at 35/1.

The Gills' ex-Carlisle defender Max Ehmer, meanwhile, is 50/1 for the opener.

Carlisle are fancied by the bookies to return to winning ways today, with their best victory odds of 7/5 offered by BetVictor and Coral.

Shorter prices of 13/10 (SkyBet), 11/8 (William Hill) and 5/4 (Unibet) are also available for the Cumbrians to win.

Neil Harris's Gills are 5/2 with Smarkets to pick up a win at Brunton Park, and 9/4 with Bet365.

The draw is 9/4.

Gillingham are hoping to score only their second goal of the league season this afternoon.

They are 4/1 to find the net against Paul Simpson's side.

United's last home meeting with the Kent outfit was a 3-1 FA Cup replay victory in 2017.

A repeat of that result is 22/1.

A more narrow Blues victory of 1-0 is 32/5, while a 0-0 draw is 8/1.
