Peterborough United: Live Blog as Peterborough United look to book place in FA Cup third round against Shrewsbury
Victory at Montgomery Waters Meadow will secure Posh a place in the third round of the competition.
They have been boosted by the return of Jonson Clarke-Harris and Jack Taylor but look set to be without Ronnie Edwards after his red card at Bristol Rovers last weekend.
Shrewsbury sit 16th in League One but the sides have not yet met this season.

Well, that’s not an ideal start. Simple ball down Posh’s right side. Cut back across the box, no one has their eye on Bayliss as he arrives late into the box and strokes home with the side of his foot.
Ronnie rejected
Posh’s appeal into the red card shown to Ronnie Edwards has been rejected. He will therefore serve a one-match suspension tody.
