5th Meeting Between Cobblers And Cod Army

Last updated : 13 February 2014 By County Ground

Weather permitting, Northampton Town travel to Highbury this weekend for the fifth meeting between themselves and Football League newcomers Fleetwood Town.

Chris Wilder's men will make the journey in confidence after the excellent victory at Torquay on Tuesday night and also have the chance to complete a rare double after a 1-0 win at Sixfields in November.

Head-to-Head

Experienced forward Jon Parkin netted for Fleetwood in their 1-1 draw against Wycombe Wanderers in midweek and told his club's official website: "It’s not going to be an easy game against Northampton because they’re down there fighting for their lives as well.

"It’s at that stage of the season now where everybody’s playing for something, so you’re never going to get an easy game."
