Boss Steve Evans is hoping his side can end a slide of five defeats in their last six at home, as they look to climb above the visitors by taking three points.
New boy Slew, who joined on loan from Blackburn on deadline day, could be thrown straight into the home attack. Kari Arnason will move into central defence to replace Claude Davis, who sits out the game after being dismissed on his debut last weekend.
Manny Oyeleke and striker Roy O'Donovan could make their debuts Northampton but former Miller David Artell will miss the game with a recurring tendon problem.
Adebayo Akinfenwa will be in visitors squad after speculation linking him with a move away from Sixfields failed to materialise.
