Carlisle United are 31/10 to cause an FA Cup upset against Wigan Athletic this afternoon.

The Blues, struggling near the foot of League Two, take on Shaun Maloney's Latics who are 19th in League One.

Bet365 price a Blues win 31/10 with odds of 11/4 for a Carlisle victory offered by BoyleSports.

Wigan are odds-on to avoid an exit at the hands of Mike Williamson's men.

The visitors, who have won one of their seven away league games so far in 2024/25, are 19/20 with UniBet and William Hill to win the game in Cumbria, and 10/11 with Ladbrokes.

A draw after 90 minutes is 5/2. Should the game end level, extra-time and penalties will then be in prospect, with replays having this season been abolished from the first round proper stage onwards.

Wigan are 4/9 to get through the tie either in normal time or through extra-time and/or spot-kicks, with Carlisle 180/30 for overall progress.

The visitors have already chalked up a victory at Brunton Park this season, winning 2-0 in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy in early October.

The FA Cup winners of 2013 are 9/1 for a similar scoreline today, with Carlisle 20/1 to win by the same result.

It is 24 years since United defeated Wigan, with a 2-1 win in the Auto-Windscreens Shield, and that scoreline this afternoon is priced 12/1.

Wigan are 13/2 to win 1-0 - the score when they last faced Carlisle in the FA Cup in 1997 - while a repeat of their historic 6-1 win over the Cumbrians in 1934's competition is 275/1.

Williamson's side are 11/1 for a 1-0 win and 45/1 for a 3-2 victory, while the game is 9/1 to end goalless after 90 minutes.

Wigan's frontmen form the favourites to get the first goal at Brunton Park this afternoon.

Dale Taylor is 11/2, as is Joe Hugill, while Thelo Aasgaard is 7/1.

Maleace Asamoah, son of former Blues favourite Derek, is also 7/1 for the opening goal.

For Carlisle, Luke Armstrong is expected to shoulder much of the attacking burden after the loss of Charlie Wyke to a season-ending injury.

He is 17/2 for the opener today, with the returning Daniel Adu-Adjei also 17/2.

Longer shots in the United ranks to score first include Tyler Burey at 16/1, Taylor Charters at 25/1, Terell Thomas at 50/1 and former Wigan target Jon Mellish at 16/1.
