This clash sees the meeting of the sides with the best home record and the best away record.

Posh: P22 W15 D4 L3 F49 A19 +30 Pts 49

Lincoln P21 W13 D5 L3 F30 A14 +16 Pts 44

Lincoln’s 13 away wins is a new club record and they have returned to form after a significant dip.

After their 2-week enforced Covid break last month, they have players back from injury and have won four of their last six, drawing one and losing the other. The two they didn’t win were against Hull and Blackpool though, close positional rivals.

Lincoln set to be without star

Lincoln are set to be without star man Brennan Johnson for today. The 19-year-old loanee from Forest has been pulling strings put wide for the Imps this season, scoring 10 goals, providing 5 assists and winning numerous penalties for his side.

He limped off with a hamstring compliant on Tuesday in the win over Shrewsbury and looks set to miss out.

There are also questions over Liam Bridcutt, who has had an injury hit few months, missing four games this month after two back following a further 9 games out. He has made short appearances in the last 2 and was taken off at half-time on Tuesday. Can you believe he only has 6 yellow cards this season? Committed more yellow card fouls than that in January.

Lincoln do, however, have fellow loanee forward Morgan Rogers fit and so too, Jorge Grant. He made team of the season and leads the assist (10) and goals (12) charts for the Imps from midfield. .

Time to put the cherry on the cake for League One’s best player this season

'Nobody deserves success more than the Posh owners’
