Wycombe have had the upper hand in recent meetings with Northampton, winning five of their last six clashes in normal time.

An early Gareth McCleary goal gave Wanderers a 1-0 win at Sixfields, before Matt Butcher's second-half brace sealed a 2-0 home victory in March.

Town, who have not reached the third round of the EFL Cup since 2016/17, lost 1-0 at Bristol Rovers in their opening League One fixture on Saturday, while Wycombe went down 3-2 at Wrexham.
