Peterborough United travel to face Derby County in League One action this afternoon (August 27, 3pm).

Posh will have new signing Ephron Mason-Clark available to play but he would be a surprise starter. They may also be boosted by the return of Kwame Poku to the squad for the first time in the league this season after he managed 55 minutes in the Carabao Cup in midweek.

These sides also met last season, before both were relegated, in a match of high drama that saw red cards for both sides and a stoppage-time winner for Derby in what turned out to be Darren Ferguson’s final game in charge of the club- he resigned the following day.

Follow all of the action on the PT live blog below.

LIVE BLOG: Derby vs Posh

  • Derby have drawn their last two league games 0-0
  • Posh looking for first ever win at Pride Park

What a frustrating game. Stitched up by a shocking refereeing display.

Headed out put back in and Fuchs wins it but it won’t fall to a Posh foot.

Bergstrom punches the corner rather than catching it. It comes out to Forsyth, he slides a ball back in and McGoldrick gets free to smash home.

Derby break, Kyprianou and Ward fail to stop McGoldrick. Plays it to Hourhihane. Shoots and deflected wide. Corner.

Knight heads in straight from the corner. Taken quickly before Posh could get set up.

Great header Kent, punched out by Bergstrom. Second corner coming.
