Posh are expecting a physical encounter and that’s influenced my thinking towards the team I would pick.
Forwards Sammie Szmodics and Ricky-Jade Jones and midfielder Jack Taylor have been ruled out by injury.
I’ve gone for a 3-4-2-1 formation for this game.
Remember this is my team, not the one I believe Posh boss Darren Ferguson would select...

5. JOE WARD
Undroppable at right wing-back after a sizzling final quarter against Derby. His pace and crossing ability will be important again.
6. DAN BUTLER
He could come under threat from either Joe Tomlinson or Harrison Burrows soon enough, but not tonight when the best, most experienced defenders will be needed, even in the wing-back role.
7. JOSH KNIGHT
I'm not a fan of this natural centre-back playing in midfield, but in this particular game his size and physicality could come in handy. An extra defender for the long throws and set-pieces.
8. OLIVER NORBURN
The midfielder looked tough in the tackle on debut against Derby. It will be physical tonight, but a central midfield partnership with Knight looks nicely combative. Photo: Midlands
