It’s been 11 year since the sides met in the league as Aaron McLean struck the winner in a game that QPR would later finish with nine men after red cards to Peter Ramage and Mikael Leigertwood. The sides last met in 2018, however, in the league cup when Posh were blown away with 2 goals in 6 minutes and never recovered.

Ferguson has “shut out all of the noise"

Australian Jarrad Gillett is back on duty and is back at Posh for a second time, in what is only his 5th outing this season. He was on duty for the Birmingham game and is by far and away the best ref Posh have had this season.

First of the season?

Posh head into today’s match with an opportunity to win back-to-back matches for the first time this season after a confidence boosting win at Hull in the week. Home form has been much better anyway but if Posh can carry the momentum through today then things could really start to be looking up.
