Carlisle United's latest promotion odds have been revealed a week before the new season.

The Blues are priced 18/1 to go up for the second consecutive season.

United are preparing for life back in League One after last term's memorable success in the League Two play-offs.

Somewhat inevitably after earning promotion that way, they are among the outsiders to achieve an incredible second consecutive promotion.

That said - Paul Simpson has form for back-to-back promotions before, taking Carlisle up twice in successive seasons back in 2004/5 and 2005/6...

Only fellow promoted side Stevenage and Cheltenham Town have longer promotion odds than the Cumbrians this time around. They are 20/1 with Betfair.

Derby County at 6/4 are the favourites to go up, with last season's losing play-off finalists Barnsley 5/2.

Bolton Wanderers are 11/4 with other contenders, according to the bookmaker, including Peterborough United and Portsmouth at 3/1 and Reading at 7/2.

Carlisle, meanwhile, are 66/1 for the third-tier title with Betfair, 6/4 for relegation with Bet365, 8/1 with SkyBet to make the play-offs, 7/4 for a top-half finish, and 16/1 to be the top finishing club in the north west.
