Will Northampton Town climb into the automatic promotion places?

The Cobblers could only draw 0-0 a Port Vale last weekend but this means they’ve only lost one of their last seven games, winning four.

Colchester United meantime are fighting for their lives at the other end of the table.

The U’s held Carlisle United to a 2-2 draw a week ago, leading through Tyreik Wright before conceding late on.

So, under interim manager Wayne Brown, they’ve only lost one of six games but are just two places and five points above danger.

Will there be a winner at Sixfields Stadium?
