History of the Nottingham Forest v Carlisle United fixture

Nottm. Forest prepare to entertain Carlisle United at City Ground on Monday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Forest.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at City Ground was just last season, in September 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a League One match.
