Northampton prepare to entertain Cambridge United at Sixfields on Friday evening, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning 33.33 of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sixfields was just last season, in December 2003, with Cambridge U. inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Cobblers in a League Division Three match.
