History suggests that Posh will come out on top and are going for five straight wins at Sixfields.

They have also not lost a league match at the ground since the start of 2002.

Ex-Cobbler Peter Kioso is now in the Posh ranks and looking to come out on top in his first trip back to Northampton since his loan spell.

96 mins 1-0 Northampton

Decent run from Ajiboye, brings the ball forward about 10 yards, plays a low ball across to Collins, shot blocked though in a good position and Kyprianou vollyes high and wide.

Tshimanga for Crichlow

93 mins 1-0 Northampton

Tomlinson balloons a freekick from the right straight out of play, shocking.

90 mins 1-0 Northampton

I’m really not sure about that.

The linesman says that’s gone in as Mitch Pinnock hooks a volley from from left of the pitch, around 35 yards out over Bilokapic.

The keeper scrambles back and gets the ball away but the linesman says the ball had crossed the line, despite not being in line.

Posh finally break out, only for Ajiboye to play a great ball into the box, JCH to leave it and Ricky to handball it as he tries to control it with his chest.

Worrying times for Posh.

Northampton alloewd in behind, Crichlow and Tomlinson get caught out by a ball over the top, Pinnock squares and it falls to Kioso to be aware of his surroundings and allow the ball to run across him before clearing.
