"With the match being broadcast on Sky Sports there will be no iFollow broadcast in the UK and Ireland."

The trip to Pride Park is the Cobblers' first since their 4-2 FA Cup fourth round replay defeat in February, 2020.

That was the club's first visit to the new home of the Rams, with the previous visit to Derby being way back in the 1967 season when the Cobblers lost 4-3 at the old Baseball Ground.

The Cobblers have never beaten Derby in a competitive match, although the sides have only previously met 12 times.
