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.
