Chris Wilder's side continue to defy the gloom with their results on the pitch and will look to follow up the exciting 3-2 victory against Carlisle United with another three points against Teddy Sheringham's men.
Having suffered a run of four straight defeats at the end of September and start of October, Stevenage are now unbeaten in three games and gained an important point at Portsmouth on Tuesday night, Brett Williams entering the fray in stoppage time and almost immediately netting the equaliser.
Before then, however, a High Court judge will listen to a winding up petition brought by Buckingham Group, the company sub-contracted to build the new East Stand at Sixfields.
The petition is against County Development Northampton Limited (CDNL) whose directors are Town chairman David Cardoza and his father Anthony.
