Peterborough United are hot favourites to make progress in the FA Youth Cup
Peterborough United coach Jimmy Unwin admits his side are hot favourites to win Monday night’s second round FA Youth Cup tie against Boldmere St Michaels at the Weston Homes Stadium (7.30pm kick off).
Posh have already seen off Lincoln City 5-0 in the competition and tonight’s opponents operate at a much lower level.
Because of the status of the visitors two Posh Under 15 players who were involved against Lincoln can’t play this evening.
Hotshot striker Bolu Shofowoke is expected to lead the Posh attack and first-team squad member Lucca Mendonca is the team captain.
Unwin said: "We go into the game as favourites and that brings an extra bit of pressure on the lads to produce the goods. We must respect our opponents and our preparations have been exactly as they would have been for any other game.
"Boldmere deserve a lot of plaudits for getting this far in the competition and we know they will give us a good test. We have everyone available for selection aside from Rylie (Fitzpatrick) and Milan (Kovaci), but two of the players who featured in the first round can't play because of the rules of the competition.
"There will be changes, but not in terms of how we go about our business. Hopefully there will be a good crowd, like there was in the first round, to support the players.”
