Peterborough United host Charlton Athletic in the first home league game of the season (August 12, 3pm).

Posh host a side managed by a former captain, Dean Holden, and one that are fancied to do well this season after making a series of good additions over the summer.

Alfie May is among them but so if Lloyd Jones, both memorable to Posh fans for matches at home last season but in very different ways.

Will Posh have Ephron Mason-Clark fit?

Key Events

  • 3pm kick-off
  • First home league match of the season
  • EMC a fitness doubt

Charlton won a free kick right from the corner spot but Edun puts it over everyone. Terrible ball.

Posh then win it straight back, brilliant ball De Havilland to fidn Tshimanga in the box. Heavy first touch and the keeper comes out and smoothers, could have had two.

JCH smahses the ball off the post from 30 yards, what an effort, so unlucky

There was a moment for Tshimanga, Posh clear a ball right up to him, goes running through in goal with Ness, not enough pace to get a shot off even though he;s goalside, in the end, tries to take a touch and lay it off to De Havilland arriving but the blocking tackle comes in.

Holden booked, moaning not enough time most likely and he may be have a point.

Corner claimed by the keeper and fired forward all the way to the opposing box. Bilokapci and Ronnie do well to make sure it’s his.

JCH wins a free-kick 30 yards out, central position.

Takes it himself and hits the top of the wall, keeper scrambling but it’s just wide.

Collins slides back beside Kyprianou. De Havillanf is the most advanced behind the two big men.

Blackett-Taylor fires another one just wide of Bilokapic’s far post.
