Peterborough United host Tottenham Hotspur U21s in the EFL Trophy at the Weston Homes Stadium (October 31, 7pm).

Posh know that a win would take them to six points and onto the brink of qualification due to their opening round win over Cambridge.

Tottenham began their campaign with a comprehensive 5-0 win away at Colchester.

Posh are expected to field a much-changed side from the victory at Blackpool and will be without the cup-tied Jacob Wakeling but fans could see Malik Mothersille for the first time.

LIVE: Posh vs Spurs U21

Posh could make it 4, Ephron wins the race and gets to the ball on the left edge of the box ahead of the keeper, looks to get the ball across to Ricky in the middle but there is a lot of Spurs bodies in there to make the block.

Spurs still fruitlessly pushing for another goal. Posh are just sitting back in their shape and winning the ball when Spurs try to break the lines.

Lyons-Foster off for Dante Cassanova

Abbott off for Tyrell Ashcroft.

O’Brien Brady with a curling ball into the box on his left foot, Ricky heads it at goal and Keeley has to push it wide for a corner.

Joel Randall off for a debut for Donay O’Brien-Brady

Spurs are back on top now but they’re not really creating chances unless Posh gift them to them.

Rio Kyerematen on for Nile John

Posh go back to their usual four at the back formation with EMC as central striker.

Lanshear nearly on the scoresheet early with a great run and header from Santaigo’s cross.

Mothersille gone down a couple of times in the last few minutes, bit of cramp it looks like.

EMC coming on to replace him.

Dornelly coming onto replace Burrows

Spurs bring Soonsup-Bell off for Lankshear

Whata hit, Crichlow bursts into midfield, finds Randall. He lays it off to Poku, he takes a touch, turns away from his marker and belts a shot in the far right side of the net.

Posh gift the ball away right on the egde of the box again, it’s a good job Donely hasn’t get his shooting boots and blasts over from just inside the box.

Spurs send in a couple of corners are headed away. Still on top.

Poku not really got up to speed in this yet, Sputs looking dangerous down the left.

Spurs having a spell in the Posh half since the goal.
