Carlisle United have confirmed a new date for their League Two home clash with Hartlepool United.

The Blues had been due to take on Keith Curle's side on Saturday, January 7.

But Pools' involvement in the FA Cup third round that day meant it had to be rearranged.

The clubs will now meet at Brunton Park on Tuesday, January 24, with a 7.45pm kick-off.

The rearrangement follows consultation between the clubs and the EFL.

Carlisle say tickets for the game will go on sale on Monday, January 9.

United will be hoping to complete a league double over the Monkey Hangers having won 3-1 at the Suit Direct Stadium on October 8.

Former Carlisle boss Curle is now in permanent charge at League Two's bottom side having initially joined Pools on an interim basis.
