First-team squad auditions when Peterborough United host Newcastle United at the Weston Homes Stadium
Peterborough United’s fringe players can audition for a first-team place when Newcastle United visit the Weston Homes Stadium for an Under 21 Premier League Cup tie on Friday (7pm kick off).
Posh are restricted to naming three over age players in the starting line-up, but some of those who have been out of favour during the reign of Robbie Savage are expected to take part.
Savage insists he will always pick players who show good form and attitude in under 21 games. Hot prospect Academy left-back Nathaniel Joseph, who is just 16, could be involved. He sat on the substitutes bench for the first team in last weekend’s 5-0 home humbling by Reading in the FA Cup.
Posh have won one and lost two in the group stages of the Premier League Cup. A very young Posh side lost 2-0 at Newcastle a fortnight ago.
Season ticket holders can watch the game free of charge with admission otherwise set at £3 for adults and £1 for concessions. The King’s Power Solutions Main Stand will be open for the game with the Ticket Office open until kick-off. Tickets can also be purchased online at www.theposhtickets.com.
