10 Key Stats Ahead Of Newcastle Vs Northampton Town

3-0 - Scoreline By Which The Cobblers Beat League One Blackpool In The Previous Round

It's been a strange start to the season for Northampton Town. A 1-0 away victory at Bristol Rovers in League Two was followed by a 3-0 home demolition of Blackpool in the League Cup First Round. Another 3-0 victory at home to Exeter in the league was then succeeded by consecutive 2-0 defeats against Barnet and Plymouth Argyle. During the rout of Blackpool - who are a division about Northampton in League One - the Cobblers netted first through Chris Hackett in the 20th minute and, before the half-hour mark, they were in cruise control thanks to additional strikes from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Sam Hoskins.
