Preview

For the second time already this season, Shrewsbury suffered a defeat to-nil away from home against Fleetwood. Gavin Cowan's side have lost five of their last six games in all competitions, conceding 14 goals throughout those defeats.

Northampton, on the other hand, are finally starting to find their feet after relegation from League One. The Cobblers travel to Montgomery Waters Meadow on a three-game unbeaten run after following up back-to-back stalemates with a 1-0 home win against Newport County last time out.
