Posh came from a goal down to beat play-off hopefuls Scunthorpe in midweek and Ferguson expects another three points against the struggling Cobblers. He said: "Northampton try and be hard to beat. Nothing comes easy in a local derby, but if we are at our best we will be favourites to win. "Given the standard of opposition and the fact that we had been outplayed for 45 minutes, that second-half display against Scunthorpe was the best we have been all season. "Other teams could have buckled in the first half, but we dug in and turned the game around completely. If we repeat that standard of play this weekend we will be hard to live with. "The tempo and pace of our play were sensational and it's certainly a good time to hit form. What we must do now is maintain it for nine more games."
