Although Rochdale are flying high in the League Two table ahead of their home game with Northampton, manager Keith Hill is in no doubt that his side will be tested by the struggling Cobblers.
“We’ll be well versed and well prepared with respect to Northampton," he said ahead of the game at Spotland.
"They were a team who were in the play-off finals last season and I’ve got a lot of admiration for Aidy Boothroyd and his teams.
“It will be a stern test of our character and our credentials, but we have no fear.”
