With a first-choice team Posh would struggle to compete against a side who will clinch promotion from League One with a win tomorrow, but without key defenders Tayo Edun (suspended) and Sam Hughes (injured) it looks like an impossible task.
You never know though and I reckon Posh need to throw as much pace as possible at the visitors from the start. Some players also need to know their place in the starting line-up for the Vertu Trophy Final between the sides at Wembley next Sunday is not guaranteed. Several did themselves no favours while capitulating to local rivals Northampton Town at the weekend.
I’m sticking to the 4-2-1-3 formation and restricting the tactic of playing out from the back for the opening 20 minutes just to stay in the game!
9. CIAN HAYES
The winger is an unpredictable performer who plays with his head down too much, but he is capable of unsettling League One defences with his dribbling and direct running. I'm starting him on my right wing. Photo: David Lowndes
10. MALIK MOTHERSILLE
It still remains weird to me that the fittest and one of the fastest and most skilful players in the side was sacrificed for a defender when Posh went down to 10 men against Cobblers. He will be fresh tomorrow now though and he can play on the left. He's combined well with Mills on that flank before this season. Abraham Odoh delivered a disappointingly flat performance at the weekend straight after his hat-trick heroics against Crawley so I'm going for the more direct runners for this game. Photo: Joe Dent
11. RICKY-JADE JONES
Jones unsettled Birmingham for a time at St Andrews in September after scoring in the opening moments. He can be more selective with his runs with so much pace around him in my team. Let's hope he is more sympathetically treated by the referee for a change. He's constantly held and blocked off because teams fear his speed, but rarely wins a free kick. Photo: David Lowndes
