Peterborough United Under 21s get set for a double header at the Weston Homes Stadium, starting with the visit of Charlton Athletic on Tuesday afternoon (1.30pm).
Peterborough United Under 21s will play out their remaining home fixtures at the Weston Homes Stadium this week, entertaining Charlton Athletic on Tuesday afternoon.
Ryan Semple’s side will be looking to bounce back to winning ways having slipped to defeat at Sheffield United last time out, which came after a string of victories in the league.
The Addicks extended their unbeaten run meanwhile, beating Birmingham City 3-1 in the capital owing to strikes from Henry Rylah, Ibrahim Fullah and Harvey Kedwell.
Donay O’Brien-Brady was on target the last time the two sides met, as we shared the spoils with the Londoners last term.
TEAM NEWS
The group on Wednesday will be made up of our Under 21 cohort, while the Under 18s – who have featured regularly in recent weeks – will prepare to take on Sheffield United in the Professional Development League Cup final a day later.
THE OPPOSITION

FROM THE MANAGER
Lead Professional Development Phase (Under 21s) Coach Ryan Semple said ahead of the game: “We’re looking forward to the game – the end is almost in sight in terms of the games programme but it’s really important that we approach the remaining games with real energy to see out the season as strongly as possible. Charlton always pose a good threat; they have a rich history with producing young talent like ourselves, so it will be a tough game but one that we hope with strong performances individually, and collectively, we can produce a result."
