Bristol Rovers welcome Carlisle United to the Memorial Stadium on Saturday in League One.
Carlisle sit rock bottom of the division and will feel they must win if they are to have any chance of staying up this season. Meanwhile, the Gas sit 12th in the table, 13 points off the play-offs with 13 games left to play and Rovers will feel that Saturday should be fairly straight forward.
However, anyone that was at the Fleetwood match earlier on this month will know that football isn't as simple as that. The Fisherman, who are also fighting for survival beat the Pirates at the Mem and Matt Taylor knows better than anyone that his side must be on their A-game if they are to be victorious on the weekend.
The Gas beat Saturday's opponents 1-0 in the north-east back in November where Andy Mangan was deputising in the Rovers dugout. Brentford loanee Tristan Crama saw red in that match and Taylor will be hoping his side can keep 11 players on the pitch on the weekend.
Taylor's squad has been decimated with injuries this season and what was a deep-filled squad has looked thin and wobbly as of late. Rovers' absentee list currently sits at eight and Gasheads will be hoping that that number doesn't increase before Saturday.
Here is how I think Rovers will line-up this weekend for the visit of Carlisle, with a key midfielder set to return.

5. RWB: Luke Thomas
Taylor has a couple of options in this position. I have opted for Thomas over Jack Hunt because Rovers are playing Carlisle United, a side who are bottom of League One and therefore the Gas could well opt for a more attacking wing-back to help break down a presumably deep-lined defence. | Getty

6. CM: Josh Grant
The Gas have a midfielder injury crisis at the minute and I would presume the versatile player would play in the heart of the midfield as he did in the defeat to Northampton. | Getty Images

7. CM: Kamil Conteh
The former Grimsby Town player has been excellent for Rovers since his arrival in January. Conteh has now served his suspension which ruled him out of the match at Northampton last weekend and therefore with the lack of options in the middle of the park, I would be astonished if he didn't come straight back into the starting line-up. | Getty

8. LWB: Harvey Vale
Taylor could well opt for Lewis Gordon on the left-hand side, but I have gone for Vale who seems to have recovered from the bizarre virus he picked up, which hospitalised him earlier this month. The Chelsea loanee offers a more of an attacking threat, likewise with Thomas on the opposite side. Photo: Pete Norton
