Northampton v Blackburn preview

Northampton will be without suspended midfielder Matt Crooks for the home game against Blackburn.

Crooks received his second red card of the season in last week's home win against Walsall and starts a two-match ban. Goalkeeper Matt Ingram remains doubtful due to the shoulder injury he sustained in last month's home draw against Bury so David Cornell could continue to deputise.
