Posh take a record of one win and eight defeats against teams currently above them in the League One table into a home game v second-placed Plymouth Argyle on Saturday.
Ferguson’s selection has been complicated by the return of midfielder Oliver Norburn from injury.
Ricky-Jade Jones and Manu Fernandez are known injury absentees.
Here’s the team the PT would pick in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
