Northampton prepare to entertain Tranmere Rovers at Sixfields on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Cobblers are clearly on top, winning 52.94% of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sixfields was just last season, in September 2006, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a League One match.
