Kendal Town are the leading Cumbrian side at the moment in the Northern League, lying third and only a point behind second place Shildon.
They travel to Newcastle Benfield who have slipped tom 13th after a good start to the season which included a 3-1 win at Parkside Road in the opening game of the season.
One absentee will be Caden Beckett who has been called up to Fleetwood Town’s Under-23s.
Kendal chairman Michael O’Neill said: “We are delighted for Caden whose being doing particularly well.
“It shows the pathway that exists where young players coming to Kendal can showcase their talents and earn recognition from EFL clubs.”
Carlisle City face a stiff test tomorrow when they travel to title challengers Shildon.
Their hosts lie second in the table, six points behind but with a game in hand of leaders Guisborough.
City had hoped to get back into action on Tuesday in the Brooks Mileson League Cup but that was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch.
Manager Dan Kirkup wanted them to put behind Saturday’s heartbreaking FA Vase defeat when they threw away a two goal lead to eventually lose on penalties.
In actual fact Shildon were in a similar situation. After losing 4-3 at Guisborough in the top of the table clash, they also had their League Cup game in mid-week washed out.
For the trip City will be without goalkeeper Scott Simons and top scorer Callum Birdsall, both through injury but otherwise will have a full squad.
Penrith are back at Frenchfield after a mid-week disaster when wholesale changes for a League Cup game didn’t work.
The Bonny Blues were humbled 6-1 by Newcastle Blue Star and it’s safe to say manager Jim Nichols will revert to his regular line-up.
That was the first dent on a 10-match unbeaten run but did no damage on the club’s League standings where they remain tenth.
West Auckland are the visitors and they are in the last play-off position but only eight points better than the Cumbrians from a game more.
Holker Old Boys have no game in North West Countis Division One North but resume on Tuesday night at home to AFC Blackpool.
In the West Lancashire League Cleator Moor Celtic will be hoping to build on their unbeaten run when they travel to bottom side Milnthorpe Corinthians.
However the Corinthians are unbeaten in their last two games, beating fellow strugglers Whitehaven and drawing with another of the lower teams Rossendale.
They have added to their squad of late and Cleator Moor manager Gareth Agnew will be guarding against any complacency.
Whitehaven are battling on, trying to recover from the loss of manager and several players, but it’s going to be hard.
They are on the road to CMB who have not lived-up to last season’s form when they finished runners-up to Tempest.
Millom were 4-0 winners at Whitehaven last week and are away again tomorrow, this time to Hurst Green who are two points and two places better off in fifth.
Windscale are without a fixture in the Wearside League’s Premier Division.
