Northampton prepare to entertain Brighton & Hove Albion at Sixfields on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Cobblers are clearly on top, having won 27 and lost only 9 of the 47 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sixfields was less than a year ago, in March 2007, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a League One match.
