The Peterborough United Under 18s make the trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United Under 18s in the third round of the FA Youth Cup on Tuesday evening (7.45pm). 

Jimmy Unwin's men made it through to this stage of the competition after home wins over Boldmere St Michaels and Lincoln City and will get the chance to face one of the best Academies in the world. 

TEAM NEWS

Posh are without the services of Milan Kovaci due to injury, but Unwin has reported no fresh injury worries with a number of players back in the squad after a combination of illness and injury. 

MANAGER QUOTES

"It is a brilliant opportunity for the players to go to such an iconic stadium and face one of the best Under 18 sides in the world and we are all looking forward to the challenge. It is funny, all those with any knocks or sniffles have declared themselves fit! In all seriousness, it is going to be a tough selection. They have a lot of talented players, but so do we, we know it is going to be tough, but we also have a lot of faith in our players. Hopefully we can go there and play our football," Jimmy Unwin said. 

TICKET DETAILS

The fixture with the Red Devils will take place on Tuesday 9th December (7pm) with tickets priced at £10 for adults and £5 for Under 16s. 

The first team are in action that evening at Reading, but unfortunately no other date with the prospect of playing at Old Trafford was available for the youngsters.
