Carlisle United were among the pre-season favourites to win promotion from the National League but Sunday's trip to Boreham Wood pits them against another team with lofty ambitions.
Mark Hughes' Cumbrians lie level on points with leaders Rochdale and now travel to face a Boreham Wood side who are just two places behind them in fifth.
Boreham Wood boss Luke Garrard is performing an impressive job at the Hertfordshire club as the promotion race starts to intensify heading into the busy festive period.
Carlisle, for their part, will be keen to bounce straight back from their previous National League outing, a 3-1 home defeat at the hands of Woking last Wednesday.
Hughes' men won 2-1 at Harborough Town in the FA Trophy third round at the weekend, returning them to winning ways ahead of their trip to face Boreham Wood, who lost on penalties to Brackley Town in the Trophy on Saturday.
