Posh Under 18s host Lincoln City at the Weston Homes Stadium on Sunday evening in the first round of the FA Youth Cup (7pm).
The Peterborough United Under 18s host Lincoln City Under 18s in the first round of the FA Youth Cup at the Weston Homes Stadium on Sunday evening (26th October) with the action getting underway at 7pm.
Posh sit eighth in the Professional Development League table following defeat at Huddersfield Town on Saturday morning, but will welcome a number of key players back into the group for the clash with the Imps.
TEAM NEWS
Bolu Shofowoke, who has netted 13 goals so far this season across the Under 18s and Under 21s, is expected to lead the line while Lucca Mendonca is also eligible to play. In the FA Youth Cup, Posh can name seven substitutes, so Lead Under 18s Coach Jimmy Unwin has some tough decisions to make.
FROM THE MANAGER
"The FA Youth Cup is a special competition and we are all looking forward to the game. It will be a tough test because although Lincoln City are a 'Category Three' side they have produced a lot of good players in recent years. Hopefully we can put on a strong performance and get through to the next round. It will be a good chance for the players to play in a stadium environment, some will be doing that for the first time and those more experienced players can help the others through those challenges. It will be good to play under the lights and hopefully a good crowd and we can put in a performance that makes everyone Proud to be Posh," Lead Under 18s Coach Jimmy Unwin said.
