The Cobblers host Chris Sutton’s Lincoln City at Sixfields tomorrow afternoon with the Imps back on form following the appointment of the former Norwich City and Blackburn Rovers star. Sutton has helped City to back to back wins in the last two outings and leads his side to Sixfields full of confidence. The Cobblers have reason to be upbeat themselves having secured fight backs in the last two games, coming from two down against Bradford and Bury to earn draws.
Team News
Dean Beckwith should come back into contention for the Cobblers and Liam Davis is the only other long term injury, with the midfielder due back in a couple of weeks. Ryan Gilligan returns to the squad after serving a one match ban for the bury game last weekend.
Lincoln are boosted by the return of Robert Kovacs and Cian Houghton to their side. Both were missing through suspension and international duty respectively last weekend and come back into the squad. The Imps are without Paul Connor and Paul Green who are still a few weeks away from a return to the first team.
