No Peterborough United fan needs reminding of the outcome the last time these sides played. So today faces quite a feat to live up to that.

Posh may be boosted by Kwame Poku’s first appearance of the season but the 20-year-old will face a late fitness test.

LIVE: Posh vs Lincoln

Key Events

  • 3pm kick-off
  • Posh looking to continue perfect home record
  • Kwame Poku could be fit to return
  • Lincoln unbeaten this season

Even a poor Kpyrianou pass that gives the ball away ends in Posh pressing them all the way back to the half way line and then a loose pass sees the ball go out of play.

The shot from Sorensen takes a deflection and travels over. Posh deal with the following corner.

Both are carrying on but now the game seems to be over really. Will be a long 20 minutes, the intensity from both really slowed.

Fuchs gives away a free kick just in front of the D with a silly push in the back.

Clash of heads between Eyoma and O’Connor as they try to deal with JCH. Both down.

More changes for Posh.

Kyprianou and Ajiboye replace Ben Thompson and Ward

He’s up, just trying to run it off now.

Concern here, Ward slips on the turf. Looks to be holding his thigh.

A couple of Lincoln corners, well defended by Posh. Pace has slowed a little as it looks like they are settling for damage limitation.
