Peterborough United host Sheffield Wednesday in League One this evening (August 16).

Posh have the chance to bounce back quickly from Saturday’s defeat at Plymouth. They perhaps wouldn’t have selected this tie to do just that though as pre-season title favourites are in town and will be bringing just under 4000 fans with them.

Fresh from three back-to-back wins, the Owls will be full of confidence.

Posh will still be without Kwame Poku as they try to register a second home win of the season.

Ref

James Oldham has the whistle tonight. Not a referee who’s name means much to me, which is usually a good thing with refs.

He last reffed Posh two seasons ago, with Posh winning on both occasions, 5-1 against Shrewsbury and 1-0 against Portsmouth.

Welcome!

Tonight is a big game, I think that’s clear. Posh had about as nice a start as you could ask for with Cheltenham and Morecambe and when the opposition stepped up a level on Saturday, they were poor. So can they bounce back against the favourites for the league title this season?
