Peterborough United host Salford City in the first round of the FA Cup at the Weston Homes Stadium (November 4, 3pm).

The two sides met at exactly the same stage last season with the match ending in a drab 0-0 before Posh ran out 3-0 victors in front of the TV cameras at Salford.

Posh may revert to a line-up close to the one which beat Blackpool last Saturday after making seven changes before the midweek victory over Spurs U21.

LIVE: Posh vs Salford

84 mins 2-1 Salford

Posh don’t seem to have any ideas of how they’re going to break down Salford.

Posh corner, ball into the box from Poku looking for JCH, headed away.

Salford in full time wasting mode now.

Smith refuses to follos the ref’s orders to go off on the far side, walks over to the far side instead.

Connor McLennan comes on in his place.

Theo Vassell also comes on for Mariappa.

Salford take the lead and it’s an absolute calamity.

Sturge passes back to Bilokapic, the keeper just completely misses the ball and it goes under his foot and rolls into the net.

Salford can’t live with Poku.

He’s destroying the backline every time he coems forward, beats Ingram on the right, a few of his calssic rolls, fires across goal but just misses the far corner.

He really is Posh’s only outlet.

It’s all Posh now, Jones waits too long to get a shot away after Poku again drives into the box, he picks him oiut of tne right of the box all alone but he’s not clinical enough.

Not sure how that’s not gone in.

Brilliant run from Poku on the right, sends a dangerous ball into the box, Posh have a couple of pokes at goal and it then falls to De Havilland, looks like he has to score a few yards out before a diving tackle comes in.

Crichlow skews a cross away and out for a corner, not too far from Bilakapic’s near post...
