Northampton prepare to entertain Gillingham at Sixfields on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Cobblers are clearly on top, having won 31 and lost only 9 of the 49 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sixfields was less than a year ago, in February 2007, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League One match.
