Peterborough United travel to Devon to face Plymouth Argyle in the Carabao Cup first round (August 10).

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.

Plymouth come into the match off the back of a 2-1 defeat at Fleetwood at the weekend, after opening with an impressive win over newly-relegated Barnsley.

LIVE BLOG: Plymouth vs Posh

Key Events

  • 7:45pm kick off
  • Posh looking for first League Cup win in 6 years

Posh starting to struggle now, Taylor looks a good change. They have slipped back and the ball is not sticking upfront, I’m sure McCann doesn’t want to bring JCH on though.

Ward and Taylor on for Ajiboye and Kyprianou.

Looks like for like.

Plymotuh are starting to win everything in the midfield now.

Posh are starting to give the ball away here too much. Azaz picks up the ball again on the edge of the 18-yard box and probably done better than shooting over.

Posh keep letting him come inside.

Plymouth sub 63 mins

Gillesphey on for Galloway in defence.

Plymouth’s final change, they’ve only chosen to use 3. All their available windows have been used.

Great save from Bergstrom this time from Azaz again from a short corner. He turns Tomlinson and fires at goal from well inside the box, Bergstrom has to be at full stretch.

Straight into the action from Azaz as he is picked out in the middle and fires a shot at goal just over from the edge of the box, great connection.

Plymouth sub 58 mins 1-0 Posh

Change up top. Finn Azaz for Jephcott.

The game has settled back into its pattern from the first half with Posh seeing all of the ball. Breaking Plymouth down has not proved easy though.

Posh corner, another one played short tonight. Clearly seens to be a plan. Randall and Tomlinson play it between each other before Knight heads Tomlinson’s ball to Taylor.

He chests it down and goes for an audacious overhead kick and its not far wide.
