Northampton prepare to entertain Barnet at Sixfields on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 5 of the 12 previous games, with the Cobblers winning just 4.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sixfields was just last season, in September 2009, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a League Two match.
