Tranmere Rovers boss Micky Mellon says his team will “absolutely go for it” in their rematch with Carlisle United this weekend.
The FA Cup first round tie at Brunton Park comes seven days after the Blues won 2-0 at Prenton Park in League Two.
Mellon says he is keen to see an improved performance after last weekend’s outing.
And he is also eyeing the financial benefits of a cup run, with £41,000 prize money available this weekend as well as a step closer to the potentially lucrative third round.
“It’s huge, an opportunity for us financially to try and bring money into the club,” said Mellon, speaking to BBC Radio Merseyside.
“We’ll absolutely go for it, and hopefully get the rewards that can come your way if you do well in it.

“We’re going to attack it and hopefully that will come our way.”
Tranmere are winless in four games as they prepare for the trip to Cumbria.
They have drawn three of their last four along with last weekend’s defeat to Paul Simpson’s side.
Of the quick rematch with United, Mellon added: “You’d have to say we’re going to know each other a lot better than [we would] a lot of other teams.
“We’re obviously disappointed with the performance we had against them, so we’ll be looking to improve on that.
“It’s very raw and very close to when we played them. We’ll look forward to it.”
Tranmere keeper Ross Doohan, meanwhile, said this weekend’s game is a chance to put things right against Carlisle.
“It was a disappointing result on Saturday, and with this game coming against them seven days later, I feel it’s a good chance at redemption, to put the performance right.
“Hopefully we can go and do that.”
Tranmere have midfielder Paul Lewis back in contention after he returned from injury as a substitute in their midweek 0-0 draw with Stockport County.
Summer signing Lewis scored four goals against Carlisle last season – a hat-trick for Northampton in their 3-0 home win over the Blues, and a consolation in the Cobblers’ 2-1 defeat at Brunton Park.
