Peterborough United host Charlton Athletic in the first home league game of the season (August 12, 3pm).

Posh host a side managed by a former captain, Dean Holden, and one that are fancied to do well this season after making a series of good additions over the summer.

Alfie May is among them but so if Lloyd Jones, both memorable to Posh fans for matches at home last season but in very different ways.

Will Posh have Ephron Mason-Clark fit?

LIVE: Posh vs Charlton

Key Events

  • 3pm kick-off
  • First home league match of the season
  • EMC a fitness doubt

First opening and it’s for Charlton, long ball over the top for May, he gets in behind the two centre halves, cuts oit back to the middle of the D for Payne to run on and hit, good diving block Kyrpianou.

Both teams having plenty of possession but all in their own half.

Charlton wing backs pushing very high to start the game, spells of possession for both teams but some poor long balls forward.

Back 3 for Chartlon, Asimmwe and Blackett-Taylor wing backs. May up top with Camara and Payne behind.

Is that about as good as a League One bench gets for Charlton? Wow

Some mcuh more established names than the ones starting.

Lloyd Jones starts though, remember his last game at London Road...?
