Northampton prepare to entertain Leyton Orient at Sixfields on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Cobblers are clearly on top, having won 20 and lost only 6 of the 33 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sixfields was just last season, in August 2004, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League Two match.
