Posh come into this off the back of another disappointing away performance at Coventry, losing 3-0, but can take heart from the fact that they were exceptional in their last home outing against Birmingham, winning 3-0 on that occasion.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, come into the match looking to reclaim the top spot they lost to West Brom last night (September 28). The Cherries are yet to lose in the league this year and have a range of attacking threats Posh need to be wary of.

Form

Bournemouth were knocked off top spot by West Brom’s 4-0 win away at Cardiff last night but will be aiming to get back there tonight and continue their red hot form. Scott Parker’s side have won their last four but a crumb of comfort for Posh will be the 0-0 draw away at Hull at the end of last month. Ferguson and McCann met on Tuesday to watch their Under 23s side, let’s hope they exchanged notes on how to nullify Bournemouth!
