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...

9. JORGE GRANT
With Knight and Norburn protecting the back three it releases Grant to play in a more advanced role where his vision and passing ability could create scoring chances.

10. SIRIKI DEMBELE
He didn't look fully fit, but he showed in spurts against Derby he will be dangerous at Championship level. The manager doesn't believe Dembele can last 90 minutes, but in the absence of Szmodics he should be given the chance. Posh have the classy Joel Randall in reserve if Dembele has to come off.

11. JONSON CLARKE-HARRIS
I doubt an FA charge will disturb a focussed centre-foward. Another whose size will be important when Posh are defending and he might enjoy having Dembele running off him up front. The speedier Marriott can come on against tiring defenders when Clarke-Harris has to be substituted.

12. THE SUBSTITUTES
As discussed already, Jack Marriott, Joel Randall and Harrison Burrows (pictured). Pym is the goalkeeper obviously, Joe Tomlinson to cover both defensive flanks, Idris Kanu to cover forward positions and Ethan Hamilton if even more height is required!
