Both Northampton Town and Southend United will look to get 2015 off to a good start when they meet in League Two at Sixfields on Saturday afternoon.
The fixture is a quick rematch after Southend were 2-0 victors at Roots Hall at the end of November with the Cobblers having lost their four intervening matches as well.
New signing Jason Taylor is available to Town boss Chris Wilder after his loan move from Cheltenham in midweek and is joined by fellow newcomers Ricky Holmes and Brendan Moloney who moved from Portsmouth and Yeovil respectively on Friday.
John Joe O'Toole, meanwhile, could also play against the Shrimpers after recently spending a short loan spell with the club.
Winger David Worrall is the main injury doubt for the visitors while defender Cian Bolger is suspended.
