Northampton travel to take on Barnet at Underhill Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Cobblers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them with only a 14.29% success rate in the fixture.

The last time the two teams met at Barnet was back in September 1999, over five years ago, the Bees carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Division Three match.
