Peterborough United host Lincoln City in League One action this afternoon (August 20, 3pm).

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

Posh are looking good in this, having lots of the ball but frustratingly haven’t found the net, when they really should have at least once.

Posh in again, great through ball from Marriott, splits the defence and JCH finds himself in one-on-one on the left of the box. Straight at Wright though, who gets down in time.

Plenty of joy to be had on the right for Posh. Ward has been on a couple of runs and he has Thompson on that side as well. Edwards is in the middle today.

Oh wow, Posh should have scored there. Ward beats his man on the right but then takes it too far, he has to slide to get the ball in.

Looks like a tap-in for JCH but Marriott takes it off him. He has to take a second touch to get it under control and can only hit it off the ground and onto the bar.

Big chance.

Looks like a 4-1-4-1 for Lincoln, Posh as expected.

So then, Poku has not made it. Not that big of a surprise really. Posh are unchanged.

On Tuesday, it was a four in attack but a back five without the ball.
