Fresh from their Cambridgeshire Derby win, Posh are now on the trail of more derby dominance, this time in the Nene Derby.

They look set to be without Ricky-Jade Jones as they look to avoid suffering a league double from their rivals.

LIVE BLOG: Posh vs Northampton

Olakigbe has looked lively since coming on, better than Ajiboye.

A couple of dangerous balls into the box but there's not much for him to hit.

Posh still passing the ball around with ease

The game is well over as a contest.

Olakigbe and Ajiboye are getting some good minutes but there isn't much in the way of action going on.

Northampton haven't given up but aren't mustering any quality.

Crichlow for Knight

Olakigbe for EMC

Posh picking their moments to come forward now.

Edwards with a lovely diagonal to split the defence, Ajiboye runs onto it and gets in on the edge of the box but delays his shot too long and hits a shot right at Leonard.

Booking for Mothersille for taking a shot after being sent in one-on-one but up goes the flag.

Burrows flashes the latest dangerous ball across the box, good tackle from Monthe to take a tap in away from Ajiboye.

Ball sent back in by Mothersille and cleared, Collins volleys from 25 yards, not far over. Good effort.

Cobblers also changed Tyreece Simpson for Sam Sherring
