MK Dons v The Posh: The Match Preview
Peterborough United will be backed by over 1,700 supporters at stadium: mk on Saturday as Darren Ferguson's men travel to Milton Keynes for a Coca-Cola League One fixture (3pm).
Posh are unbeaten in the last three matches, while the Dons beat Colchester United 3-0 last weekend, a result which cost U's boss Geraint Williams his job.
TEAM NEWS
Posh are without Aaron Mclean (dislocated elbow), Shane Blackett (dislocated shoulder) and Dean Keates (knee). Tom Williams is expected to replace Jamie Day at left-back while Paul Coutts is set to continue at the heart of midfield.
The Dons boss Roberto Di Matteo almost has a full squad to choose from. Paul Mitchell has returned from his loan spell at Barnet, while Luke Howell and Florian Sturm have shaken off the knocks that have kept them out over the last few weeks.
And with Miguel Llera and Ali Gerba now fit, long-term absentee Danny Swailes will be the only player unavailable for selection.
MANAGER QUOTES
'We are three matches unbeaten, but obviously we are looking for a win on Saturday. I have said to my players that they should relish games like this, it will be a big crowd with a large away following and they will be playing in a superb stadium. It is games like this that every footballer wants to play in,' Ferguson said.
'I would like us to be solid at the back, but I don't mind if they're open. Defending doesn't only mean the defenders need to be focused, it's a team game so everyone has to do their thing. I know they like to play football and we do as well, so hopefully we can enjoy a nice game,' Di Matteo said.
ONE TO WATCH
With Keith Andrews departing for Blackburn Rovers, the Dons will be looking for Aaron Wilbraham (pictured) to score more goals from attack and he has made a decent start, scoring the opening goal in the win at Colchester United. His hold-up play is good, he is decent in the air and scores plenty of important strikes.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Posh have sold 1,700 tickets for the game, but it is not all-ticket, so supporters can travel and purchase a ticket at the MK Dons Box Office. There are no tickets available from the London Road Ticket Office.
