Northampton Town have gotten off to a very disappointing start to the League One season, with them still chasing a win. The Cobblers have played three games, losing two and drawing one, which now puts them 21st in the league and inside the relegation zone. Kevin Nolan’s men have scored just one goal so far which came as a consolation in a 3-1 loss against Wigan on opening day. Besides that, a 0-0 stalemate against Bradford City is about all they have to shout about. In their most recent match, the Cobblers suffered a diminishing 2-0 defeat to Stevenage, which has struck much doubt into the eyes of their fans. Northampton also find themselves knocked out of the EFL Cup, after a round 1 blow to Southampton last week.
Lincoln have managed to kickstart their season in very good form, already picking up six points in League One. The Imps won both their opening game against Reading and their most recent game against Plymouth, with the only blip coming in a 2-0 loss to Wimbledon. Overall, Michael Skubala’s outfit have already managed to score 5 goals and position themselves 11th in the league table. On top of this, Lincoln were able to progress through to the next round of the EFL Cup last week, after holding Harrogate Town to a 3-1 defeat at their ground.
As expected, it is Lincoln City who have managed to get the best from this tie in recent years, including back-to-back wins in the league last season. However, Northampton do pack a punch after being on the winning side a fair few times.

James Collins (Lincoln) - James Collins just scores goals. The Irishman was Lincoln’s top scorer last season with 10 goals, and he only joined the club in January. Now, he has started his first full season in Lincoln colours with two goals already, which both came against Plymouth last weekend.
