Carlisle United travel to Millwall without David Raven and with fellow defender Paul Reid rated as a major doubt for the Cumbrians.Raven starts a three-game ban for his red card in the 2-1 defeat against Southend last Saturday after boss John Ward scrapped plans to appeal.

Reid, meanwhile, sustained ankle ligament damage in the same game and is unlikely to feature, but should return against Bournemouth next weekend.

Peter Murphy came off the bench to replace Reid against the Shrimpers and, despite having a tooth knocked out following his introduction, is favourite to deputise again.

Midfielder Grant Smith is nursing a tight hamstring but is expected to retain his place in the side, while Paul Thirlwell is pushing to start after making his first appearance in over four months last weekend after overcoming an ankle problem.

Long-term absentee Joe Garner (knee) misses out while Jeff Smith (ankle) could be fit before the end of the season.
