The Cobblers are all set for their second away game in succession with Saturday's trip to Swansea looming. With the Town on an excellent run of form with four wins from the last five games we have nothing to fear against the playoff chasing Swans.
But the home side will be looking to continue their own mini revival under new boss Roberto Martinez as they lie just one point below the playoffs going into Saturday's game.
Swansea have completed the loan signing of Hull City striker Darryl Duffy and he will be available for the Cobblers' visit to the new Liberty Stadium. Kristian O'Leary should return after missing last Friday's win over Chesterfield while Duffy could replace the suspended Lee Trundle in attack, partnering the dangerous Pawell Abott.
For the Cobblers, Stuart Gray awaits the clearing of striker Simon Cox before handing the Reading loanee a place in the squad but other than that it looks like being an unchanged side from the one that came from behind to beat Bradford City last weekend.
While it'll be good to get a new ground under my belt, it's doubtful whether the atmosphere could possibly match that of the old Vetch Field, one of the most passionate and intimidating ground I have visited. The welsh fans usually give us a nice "welcome" though so it promises to be a good day out in the middle of my weekender in South Wales!
Cobblers fans are reminded that the game is ALL TICKET and fans must purchase tickets before 4pm on Friday to ensure entry to the game.
