The Merseysiders are back on home soil on Sunday afternoon against a Cobblers side slowly being sucked into the relegation mire that Tranmere have found themselves in throughout the season.
Their form has improved under experienced boss Adams and after conceding an early penalty and red card at Burton he said: "Not many people would expect us to come (here) and win. Our big one is against Northampton on Sunday."
Five points separate Rovers, in the final relegation place, from Northampton going into the game.
