Northampton pack their bags to visit Peterborough United at London Road Ground 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 ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The previous match played between the two at London Road Ground was more than three years back, in December 2002, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division Two match.
