Peterborough United Under 18s travel south to the capital on Tuesday afternoon (12pm) for what will be our final away trip of the regular league season.
Posh Under 18s will be looking to put the weekend’s defeat behind them when they make the trip to south-east London in midweek, taking on Jason Pearce’s young Addicks with just four games left on the cards.
In the other dugout, Jimmy Unwin saw his side come away with defeat to Fleetwood Town on Saturday, despite Bolu Shofowoke’s double and a stand-alone Olly Arber strike.
Our opponents for the second match of the Easter double header, were defeated 2-0 by Sheffield United in their last outing.
The Londoners are a mixed bag when it comes to form, having picked up seven points in eight matches, including victories over Wigan Athletic and AFC Bournemouth in that stretch.
TEAM NEWS 
Jimmy Unwin expects to field a more experienced side, now that the Easter school holidays are over.  
Nathan Aikins’ injury is worse than first feared and will miss out on the trip to the capital. 
THE OPPOSITION   
Charlton sit ninth in the southern section, having picked up 27 points from as many league matches. Pearce’s young Addicks have seen eight victories, three draws, and 16 defeats over the course of the term, sitting at the lower reaches of the table.
FROM THE MANAGER   
Professional Development Phase (Under 18s) Lead Coach Jimmy Unwin said ahead of the game: “It will be another tough game – every time we play Charlton it’s always a good game. They’re a side that likes to develop young talent like us, but we’ll have an older squad compared to the last few games, so it’s about managing those minutes and looking after them physically as we lead into the end of the season – but we’re looking forward to the challenge."
UPDATES  
Updates of the game will be available on The Posh Academy X account.   
VENUE   
The fixture will take place at the Sparrows Lane Training Ground, London.
