A look ahead to Saturday's Sky Bet League One clash with Bradford City at the Weston Homes Stadium (3pm).
Peterborough United entertain Bradford City on Saturday afternoon at the Weston Homes Stadium in Sky Bet League One action (3pm) with Darren Ferguson's men looking to build on the positives of a large proportion of the performance against Barnsley on Tuesday evening.
The Bantams have adjusted to life in League One quickly and Graham Alexander's men arrive full of confidence after beating Stockport County in midweek.
TEAM NEWS
Defender Tom Lees and midfielder Matt Garbett both played 45 minutes in the Under 21s against Queens Park Rangers on Wednesday and are expected to be added to the squad. Alex Bass, Sam Hughes, Rio Adebisi and Ben Woods are sidelined through injury, while Oscar Wallin is not involved for personal reasons.
Striker Andy Cook is a doubt for the game while Joe Wright and Calum Kavanagh are also expected to miss out of the contest.
ONE TO WATCH
Stephen Humphreys
Stephen Humphrys (pictured below) joined the Bantams with a wealth of experience in the third tier already under his belt, having scored 52 times in 219 appearances, also boasting 18 assists.
The forward was part of the Wigan side which won the Sky Bet League One title in 2021/22, featuring 38 times for Leam Richardson. He switched to BD8 after a season at Oakwell, where he found the back of the net nine times in 37 Sky Bet League One outings, assisting his teammates twice.
Standing at 6ft 2ins, the striker represented Hearts in the 2022/23 Europa Conference League, scoring away to Fiorentina.
MANAGER QUOTES
"Bradford have had a great start to the season and the first goal, like in any game, will be important, but for us, if we don't get it, it is about sticking to our plan. The supporters were excellent on Tuesday night, they could see the energy and application, we are working hard on the final bit that we know that we are lacking at this moment in time," Darren Ferguson said.
