The Cobblers welcome Leeds United to Sixfields for the second time in just over a week this evening as Stuart Gray’s side look to avenge the 5-2 cup replay hammering last Monday.
Team News
Gray will still be without Adebayo Akinfenwa, Chris Doig, Abdul Osman and Colin Larkin but could hand loan signing Andy Todd a debut in defence. The Derby man signed on at Sixfields in time to play in the game against Leeds and could come straight in to sure up the back line that shipped five goals against tonight’s opponents last week.
Leeds will be without Malcolm Christie after the former Middlesbrough striker was ruled out with a rib injury. But Paul Huntington could return after suffering through injury.
