Northampton prepare to entertain Hereford United at Sixfields on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 10 of the 24 previous games, with the Cobblers winning just 8.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sixfields was less than a year ago, in December 2009, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a League Two match.
