        Northampton Town vs Carlisle United Preview, Tips & Stats

        Carlisle United make the trip to Sixfields Stadium to take on Northampton Town this Saturday in League One. Northampton look to close in on the chasing pack for the Play-offs whereas Carlisle aim to reel in the rest of the relegation zone.

Though The Cobblers did get more shots on target against Wycombe, a brace from Matt Butcher in the second half gave Wycombe the 2 - 0 win and all three points.

        Northampton were finally back to winning ways against a high-flying Derby County. Sam Hoskins scored the only goal of the game in the 23rd minute as Sonny Bradley was sent off in the tenth minute of added time to give Northampton the 1 - 0 win over ten-man Derby.
