Barnet have a chance to pull away from the relegation zone with a win and will be looking to build on an excellent away success at Accrington. For the Cobblers it is an opportunity to improve their survival prospects and pull a few other teams into the mire.
“I expect Northampton will be chucking everything at us to get the win," Bees boss Sanchez has been quoted as saying.
"They lost their last game but they will be looking to drag us back into the fray.”
Key man for the visitors will be in-form striker Izale McLeod and home skipper John Johnson told BBC Radio Northampton: "He's done very well for them. He may have single-handedly kept them up over the past two years."
"He scores a lot of goals. We'll have to stop that threat and the players who feed him the ball."
