Weather permitting, the League Two clash between Northampton and Burton Albion pits together two sides who have excellent home records but who have struggled on their travels.
Rowett, the division's Manager of the Month for December, told the Burton Mail that he was well aware of the qualities the Cobblers bring to the table in any game.
“They’re probably the best set-piece team in the division and know how to hurt you if you don’t stand up to them.
“Ady Boothroyd kept them up last season and now he has the going in the right direction so it’s going to be a test of our resilience and strength of character.”
