Head coach Michael Skubala names an unchanged XI for Tuesday's Sky Bet League One trip to Northampton Town.

New signing Frankie Okoronkwo, who completed a season-long loan from Everton the day before, comes onto the bench in the only change to the matchday squad.

James Collins continues up front and is looking to hit a career landmark - with his double on Saturday taking him to 199 EFL league goals. He would love to get his 200th in this fixture, having been part of the Cobblers team which won the League Two title in 2015/16.

Skubala said: "Picking the team is never an easy decision, but there were some brilliant performances in that first 70 minutes on Saturday.

"The lads that did well have earned a chance to go again. The results look after themselves if we get the performances right, but the first part is starting right and working our way into the game away from home."
