Northampton Town come in to this clash in fine league form, currently sitting third in the League Two table, and their 39 points after 20 games is the second-best start to a season in the club’s history.
Last time out in the league they were unable to find a way past League Two strugglers Tranmere Rovers, and were made to settle for a 0-0 draw.

We say: Northampton Town 2-1 Carlisle United
While both sides have proven difficult opponents to take points off in the league this season, Northampton Town’s consistency of performance makes them one of the teams to beat in League Two.
Carlisle have been strong performers away from home this season, however creation of meaningful opportunities has been a problem for Paul Simpson of late, and they may not have the attacking power to outscore their fellow promotion contenders.
This match will start from 1:15 am

Northampton Town were gifted an extended break as last week’s match against Harrogate Town was postponed due to a frozen pitch.
Jon Brady had no fresh injury concerns entering the match against Harrogate, and will now hope a rested squad will be fully fit to overcome Carlisle United.
Top scorer Hoskins is one yellow card away from suspension, while 17-year-old defender Josh Tomlinson may be involved off the bench after recently signing a new long-term contract with the Cobblers.
Meanwhile, Carlisle United’s fixture against Barrow was also postponed due to the unplayable conditions of the pitch due to the heavy snowfall.
Due to frozen pitches, the following games are postponed this weekend:
