Peterborough United travel to Sixfields to have rivals Northampton Town on Saturday (August 19, 3pm).

History suggests that Posh will come out on top and are going for five straight wins at Sixfields.

They have also not lost a league match at the ground since the start of 2002.

Ex-Cobbler Peter Kioso is now in the Posh ranks and looking to come out on top in his first trip back to Northampton since his loan spell.

LIVE: Northampton vs Posh

Key Events

  • 3pm kick-off

Nervy start as Crichlow passes straight to Bowie, Joel Randall has to come back and bail him out and wins a foul in the final third.

Footage of Cobblers goals from the past being played on the big screen now. Presumably, they’re sturggling to locate footage of wins over Posh.

Bolton vs Wigan finishes 4-0 to the visitors.

Just one more goal and Posh could have been top before we kicked off here.

A timely reminder Bolton have had a very soft start to the season before today.

Well, this needs little introduction, it’s the Nene Derby.

Which usually means the day ends with a Posh win....

This new Posh side has passed all the tests before them so far, let’s see if they can continue that by ticking off an away derby day!
