Peterborough United boss Darren Ferguson must find a team capable of winning arguably the toughest game in League One this season.
Posh head to Hillsborough to face a rampaging Wednesday side that have not lost in their last 20 league matches going back to October. Posh have a chance to pull off a double over the leaders though, having beaten them 2-0 at London Road in August.
Oliver Norburn’s return to fitness gives Ferguson a decision to make in the midfield.
Ricky-Jade Jones is surprisingly back in contention after his injury was not as bad as feared but Josh Knight is suspended.
Here’s the team the PT would pick in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

9. HARRISON BURROWS
It was quite surprising to see Burrows dropped from the team that beat Plymouth so well. He's been underused this season and I want to see someone in the number ten role more willing to get stuck in and more comfortable picking up the ball deeper and bringing it forward. Photo: Joe Dent
Darren Ferguson said that Joe Ward was moved further forward against Charlton to exploit their left back with his crossing so it's odd that he showed such reluctance to take his man on. I'd go with Poku in this one. Photo: Joe Dent
With the suspension for Knight, there is a space on the bench I would fill with youngster Charlie O'Connell now that he is back at the club. Elsewhere, I'm going for Will Blackmore, Dan Butler, Jeando Fuchs and Hector Kyprianou, Joe Ward and Kabongo Tshimanga. Photo: Joe Dent
