Cheltenham and Northampton will be hoping to end serious slumps when they meet on Saturday.
Basement battle at Whaddon Road
Cheltenham and Northampton will be hoping to end serious slumps when they meet on Saturday.
The Robins currently prop up the League One table, sitting 12 points adrift of safety after losing eight of their last nine fixtures.
Northampton have also wobbled of late, with four defeats in five leaving them precariously perched just two points above the drop zone.
Cheltenham team news
Cheltenham will be without Alex Russell this weekend as he has completed a move to Exeter.
The midfielder has joined the Grecians on loan until the end of the season, when he will then complete a permanent switch to the League Two club.
On-loan forward Ashley Hemmings made his debut for the club as a late substitute in the 3-1 defeat against Millwall on Tuesday and he is again looking to be involved.
Defender Alan Wright remains sidelined with a calf injury while striker Damian Spencer is also struggling with a knock.
Winger Michail Antonio (ankle) and defender Michael Townsend (hamstring) remain out.
Northampton team news
Northampton manager Stuart Gray is hoping to recall Danny Jackman to his squad for the trip to Whaddon Road.
The defender missed the 1-1 draw with Brighton in midweek but boss Gray remains optimistic Jackman will have made a full recovery for Saturday's clash.
"He is still struggling a bit and looks very weak but fingers crossed he will be fine," Gray said.
The Cobblers will also be without suspended striker Adebayo Akinfenwa as he commences a four-game ban following his sending off against Brighton.
Meanwhile, midfield duo Liam Davis (hernia) and Luke Guttridge (knee) are still unavailable but are likely to return to training on Monday.
Northampton will be without goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler who returned to parent club Manchester United following the expiry of his loan deal this week, so Chris Dunn should deputise with Paul Walker being promoted from the reserves to the bench.
