Minimal changes for Peterborough United for cup tie, but new striker could start
Posh boss Steve Evans is not expected to make more than a couple of changes to his starting line-up as he seeks to maintain the momentum gained by two League One wins in a row.
But Toney, who made his debut following a reported £600,000 transfer from Newcaste as a substitute in Saturday’s 4-1 win at Rochdale, could be given a run-out. Midfielder Callum Cooke could also make his full Posh debut, while goalkeeper Conor O’Malley could also play.

“Having said that there are players who deserve game time so there will be one or two alterations.
“Ivan has a chance. I’m pleased to have him at our club. He gives us a physical presence and I felt he looked sharp when he came on at Rochdale.
“it’s a tough game at QPR. They haven’t started great, but they have a top manager in Steve McClaren and they will have good players on the pitch.

Former Posh striker Conor Washington could start for QPR. Washington (26) scored 33 goals in 94 appearances for Posh before leaving for QPR in a £2.5 million transfer in January, 2016.
There is no extra time tomorrow. The match will go straight to penalties if level after 90 minutes.
