Peterborough United face Plymouth Argyle for the second time in four days. This time three League One points are up for grabs this afternoon (August 13, 3pm).

With the first leg of Posh’s extended stay down in Devon successfully negotiated, Posh now move onto try and complete the second and arguably more important part; securing the three league points.

Expect Grant McCann to reverse most of the eight changes he made on Wednesday night, although he has said that game has given him some decision to make.

Posh will be looking to continue the league’s only 100% record but will be without Kwame Poku and Harvey Cartwright.
