Gillingham's third game of the season sees Gareth Ainsworth's side return home to Priestfield Stadium, where they'll welcome a Northampton Town side looking to stabilise themselves after relegation from League One last season.
The Cobblers sit level on points with Gillingham, having drawn their opening game of the season 0-0 with Swindon at Sixfields, then lost 1-0 on the road at Crewe last weekend.
"We need to be confident that we can put out a team that will beat them on Saturday, and I am. I'm super-confident." Gareth Ainsworth
Now, with new boss Chris Hogg at the helm following Kevin Nolan's departure in the summer, Northampton head to Priestfield for a battle between two sides both chasing their first win of the campaign.
