Northampton prepare to entertain Nottingham Forest at Sixfields on Friday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Though past meetings have resulted in more draws than losses for Cobblers.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sixfields was just last season, in August 2006, with Nottm. Forest inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Cobblers in a League One match.
