The Cobblers go looking for the point they need to stay up this evening as MK Dons make their first ever trip to Sixfields. After a postponement earlier this season, this game now takes on even more importance with Dons looking to bounce back from a defeat at the weekend to regain a positive hold on their playoff ambitions.

Stuart Gray will be without Chris Doig for the game as the skipper misses out with a groin injury. Adebayo Akinfenwa will once again be battling for fitness but Iketchi Anya should start up front.
Dons are without Sean O’Hanlon and Stephen Gleeson as they look to earn a win that would take them back up to third place in the table.
Form
The Cobblers come into the game having claimed seven points from their last three games. A win at Orient was followed by a 3-3 draw with Scunthorpe last Tuesday night before a 2-1 win over Hereford on Saturday.
Dons missed out on automatic promotion as their hopes were ended on Saturday by Walsall, who won by the single goal at Stadium: MK.
Last Time Out: MK Dons 1-0 Northampton Town (16/08/08)
In the only other meeting between the sides, the Dons took all three points on the second weekend of this season. On a hot day in August, it was Aaron Wilbraham that sealed the points with a scrambled goal mid-way through the second half in a deserved win for the home side.
