Peterborough United travel to the Select Car Leasing Stadium to face Reading in the opening game of the League One season.

With nine arrivals and nine exits, it is a very different Posh side to the one that ended last season.

Darren Ferguson’s new-look side will get its first test against troubled Reading, who have been boosted by the lifting of the transfer embargo that has seen Charlie Savage and Lewis Wing finally registered as well as Harlee Dean and Tivonge Rushesha signed on Friday.

Find out if Posh can get their campaign off to the perfect start on the PT live blog below.

LIVE: Reading vs Posh

Key Events

  • 3pm kick-off
  • No major injury concerns for Posh
  • Reading have registered four new players in the last day
  • Ruben Selles takes charge of his first Reading match

Posh have lost control here and are giving up chances, looking tired.

Now Burrows with the block from Vickers’ curling effort. Reading were let in on the right becuase Poku gave the ball away in the final third, completely exposing Kisos, who was supporting him on the overlap.

Great block Crichlow, throws himself in front of a Carroll shot after Guiness-Walker was given the freedom of the Posh box on the left to pick out a first time cross.

As Jones is robbed of a great ball to run onto by a horror offside decision.

Azeez and Knibbs off

Mamadi Camara and Caylan Vickers on.

Some better stuff from Posh.

Collins and Randall combine on the edge of the box to work a chance, Collins runs onto a nicely weighted ball and fires high and wide, he had more time that he took.

Another booking, wild challenge from Holmes on Jones in the middle of the pitch.

JCH and Jones have swapped positions, JCH is almost in a wing back position while Ricky is up top. ok then...

Rushesha, a midfielder signed yesterday, comes on for Hutchinson.

Guiness-Walker nutmengs Kyprianou and fires the ball across the box, Bilokapic helps it on its way but you get the sense Reading are building something.
