Posh face the Pilgrims for the first of two times in four days and have a chance to avenge last year’s first round thrashing at the hands of the same opponents at the same stage last season.

Grant McCann is expected to make changes but the game has come too soon for Kwame Poku and Harvey Cartwright.
