Peterborough United host Portsmouth at the Weston Homes Stadium (January 28, 3pm).

Darren Ferguson will try again to play his first home game back at Posh after the Charlton match last week was postponed at the 11th hour.

He faces a fellow new man in charge in John Mousinho, who has won both of his matches in charge of Portsmouth so far.

Posh are hoping to move clear of today’s visitors, who sit just one point behind them in the League One table.

Nathan Thompson lines up against his brother Louis.

More interestingly though, no Jack Marriott and we’ve had it confirmed he’s not injured.

Still the 4-2-3-1 for Posh.

Early corner Posh. Good EMC cross just caught out before it reaches Poku.

Terrible low corner from Ward but it does actually cause a bit of panic. Foul given though in the end.

Posh have started well but more crossing. JCH in a good position on the left on the box after a EMC header. Miles too much on it, out of play.

Posh are definitely on the front foot here. A good ball this time from Ward on the right, keeper just gets there before JCH on the penalty spot.
