York vs Northampton: match facts, form and head-to-head – 7 November 2026, FA Cup

York host Northampton at the York Community Stadium in what promises to be a clash of contrasting fortunes. Sitting sixth with 17 points from four wins, five draws and two losses, York have scored 19 goals while conceding 13, indicating a solid, if not prolific, attack. Northampton sit near the bottom in 23rd place, having amassed only 10 points from two victories, four draws and four defeats, and their modest 6‑8 goal record highlights defensive frailties. The gap of seven points and a significant difference in goal difference suggest York will enter as clear favorites, yet Northampton’s need for points could make them dangerous. A win for York would cement their push for a top‑four finish, while Northampton will be desperate to climb out of the relegation zone.
