Carlisle United defender Danny Butterfield will make his debut in tonight's League One clash at Colchester United.

The 33-year-old former Southampton full-back, who joined the Cumbrians on a free transfer earlier today, replaces Kevin Feely.

Lee Miller and Matty Robson are back for Carlisle, returning from suspension and a knee injury respectively.

Danny Livesey is also back in Greg Abbott's starting XI, while Josh Gillies, Mark Beck and Lewis Guy drop to the bench.

Meanwhile, Colchester make just one change following last week's 1-1 draw with Sheffield United.

Ryan Dickson has a "tummy bug" and is replaced by Tosin Olufemi, who makes his full debut.
