Preview

Grimsby's miserable run of form continued in gameweek 10 as they suffered a narrow away defeat to Port Vale. After a promising start to the League Two campaign, the Mariners have lost three consecutive league games.

Northampton were heading for three points on the road against York City last time out before Ollie Pearce salvaged a point for the National League champions. Chris Hogg's side are now winless in four in all competitions ahead of their trip to Blundell Park.
