Match Preview

Northampton's miserable season took another turn for the worse on Saturday as the Cobblers were hammered 5-1 on the road by an already-promoted Cardiff side. Now at the bottom of the standings, the hosts have suffered nine consecutive League One defeats and are winless in 14.

Adam Phillips' 26th-minute goal counted for nothing at the full-time whistle on Saturday as Kasey Palmer earned Luton a late win against Barnsley at Kenilworth Road. Conor Hourihane's men are winless in four but will fancy their chances of ending that streak on Tuesday night.
