The entire length of the League Two table and 18 points separate the two teams but Aidy Boothroyd will be keen for his side to show that they are in a false position after their awful start to the season.
He was buoyed by the weekend win at Bishop's Stortford and told the official NTFC website: "It's about putting points on the board, yes we’ve got a bit of climbing to do but we’ve shown even in the games that we’ve lost that if we can put two or three things right we might start putting a run together."
Fleetwood are in JPT action on Wednesday night when they host Carlisle United in a live TV fixture.
***Update*** Fleetwood turned in an excellent display in the JPT tie, beating Carlisle United 2-0.
"It was a really good performance from the lads," said boss Graham Alexander.
"I can't think of one player to pick out from them, it was just a really great example of a team performance. We've got an early goal, which is always good, but you've got to build on that and we did that really well."
