Peterborough United travel to the One Call Stadium to face Mansfield in the EFL Cup third round (September 26, 7:45pm).

Victory for Posh against their League Two opponents would send Posh into the fourth round on the competition for just the second time in 30 years.

To do so, however, they will have to see off a Mansfield side who have not lost a match in any competition this season.

Watch out for Mansfield

Posh do need to be wary of their opponents, who have won six and drawn five of their 11 matches this season.

They sit third in League Two and also knocked out Sheffield Wednesday on penalties in the last round, thank god. The last thing any of us needed is anotehr trip to Hillsborough. Especially Darren Moore on Sky was the one who gave Posh this draw.

A promising EFL Cup run is starting to build for Posh.

If they can win tonight it will be a place in the fourth round for just the second time in 30 years.
