Northampton play host to Carlisle United at Sixfields on Tuesday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Cobblers have drawn 9 of the 13 contests however.
The last time the two teams met at Northampton was just over four years ago, in September 1999, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division Three match.
