FA Cup first round draw: Carlisle United v Wigan Athletic

The Blues will host the League One club - who won the Cup in 2013 - in the competition next month.

Mike Williamson's side will have to cause an upset if they want to progress to the second round.

Shaun Maloney's Latics sit tenth in the third tier, with Carlisle currently bottom of League Two.

It will be the second time the clubs have met in cup competition this campaign, Wigan having recently won 2-0 at Brunton Park in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy.

It will be a reunion for United duo Charlie Wyke and Jordan Jones against their former club, while Wigan's squad includes Maleace Asamoah, son of ex-United favourite Derek.

The game will be the sixth time Carlisle and Wigan have met in the FA Cup - the Latics winning all their previous ties.

Their last encounter in the knockout competition came in 1997, when Wigan's 1-0 win in Cumbria knocked Carlisle out in the first round.

Their first meeting in the Cup was back in 1934, when Wigan enjoyed a 6-1 win at Carlisle - a record win for a non-league club against a league side, the Latics then in the Cheshire League and Carlisle in Division Three North.

The clubs then had a series of meetings in the late 1980s and early 1990s, all at Wigan's former home of Springfield Park.

In 1989 the Latics prevailed 2-0 in a second round tie, and they met again in 1990's first round, Wigan claiming a 5-0 win.

Two years on, 1992's first round tie saw Wigan win 3-1.

Carlisle will be looking to go at least one stage better than last season, when they exited the competition in the first round with a 3-1 defeat at Leyton Orient.

Wigan reached the third round last season where they hosted Manchester United, eventually losing 2-0 to the Premier League club.

Carlisle's last win against Wigan came back in 2000 with a 2-1 victory in the Auto-Windscreens Shield.

The first round draw was made at Bradford City's Valley Parade, by Stuart McCall and Danny Webber.

The draw means Carlisle will be at home on three successive weekends, with league games against Harrogate Town and Cheltenham Town coming before Wigan's visit.

The tie at Brunton Park will be on the weekend of November 2. The game will be decided on the day, with replays having been controversially scrapped from the first round proper onwards, a drawn tie to be settled by extra-time and penalties.

Other notable ties in the first round draw include MK Dons v AFC Wimbledon. Carlisle's fellow Cumbrians Barrow were given a home tie against fellow League Two outfit Doncaster Rovers.
