Posh will be looking to make progress in the EFL Cup, a competition that Posh have not fared well in recent years.

Posh have only won one EFL Cup tie since 2016- that came 2-0 away at Plymouth Argyle last season. Posh were then knocked out 1-0 the following round by League Two Stevenage.

Swindon will get their season underway on Tuesday night after their season opener at Colchester was rained off on Saturday.
