The Cobblers, needing 3 points to keep themselves in the thick of the play-off race, face a Notts County side who are now looking certain to gain automatic promotion to League One following a superb recent run of form. County's success stems from their mean back-line, with 21 clean sheets already in the league leaving them just 2 short of equalling a club record. That in turn has led to speculation that goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel will make a £2m summer move to Tottenham. "The way we're keeping clean-sheets at the minute we can beat the record," said Magpies man Stephen Hunt, quoted in the Nottingham Evening Post. "It would be nice to go down in the club's history and be able to look back on a record like that in a few years."
