Northampton prepare to entertain Boston United at Sixfields on Saturday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Cobblers have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sixfields was just last season, in November 2002, as the Cobblers squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a F.A. Cup match.
