Ricky Miller makes a scoring return to action, while Posh face a daunting task at in-form, runaway League One leaders

The Imps won 2-1 at AFC Wimbledon today (January 2) to record a third straight win and move four points clear at the top.

When Posh take to the field at Sincil Bank next weekend it will be a first competitive outing in 25 days for Darren Ferguson’s men.

A word of caution though as Lincoln manager Michael Appelton and one of his coaching team missed the game at Plough Lane today as they were self-isolating.

Grant McCann’s Hull City moved into second place ahead of inactive Portsmouth by beating promotion rivals Charlton Athletic 2-0 at the KC Stadium.

A point would have moved the Londoners above Posh who instead reamin in fifth place. They have held that position despite their last four scheduled matches being postponed!

Local rivals Northampton Town did Posh a favour by holding Sunderland to a 0-0 draw at Sixfields. Sunderland are now three points behind Posh from the same number of matches.

Promotion candidates Portsmouth, Doncaster Rovers, Ipswich and Accrington Stanley were all without matches today.

Elsewhere former Posh striker Ricky Miller scored on his debut for National League Aldershot in a 1-0 win at Woking.
