The game was originally scheduled for Saturday, January 6, but Posh will be in the third round FA Cup action against Leeds United over that weekend.

The match now falls for Posh between a home game with Exeter City on Saturday March 2 and an away date at Burton on March 9.

Cobblers will be seeking a rare double over Posh having beaten than at Sixfields 1-0 in August.
