Cobblers have been handed a tricky first round tie at Paul Cook’s Chesterfield, who are currently third in the National League. Manager Jon Brady will be keen to progress but he may also take the opportunity to rest one or two weary bodies given the heavy schedule and number of injures. Here’s Town’s potential starting XI at the Technique Stadium….
1. GK: Lee Burge
Jonny Maxted has been the goalkeeper of choice for cup matches this season but he's missed the last few games for personal reasons so Burge may get the call up. Photo: Pete Norton
2. RB: Aaron McGowan

3. CB: Sam Sherring
