Northampton play host to Hereford United at Sixfields on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 9 of the 22 previous games, with the Cobblers winning just 7.
The last time the two teams met at Northampton was more than a decade ago, in December 1996, the Cobblers carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Division Three match.
