Weston Homes Stadium

Posh are back in action on Sunday when they host Burton Albion at the Weston Homes Stadium.

After the disappointment of the defeat to Port Vale, Peterborough United have an immediate chance to put things right when they welcome Burton Albion to the Weston Homes Stadium on Sunday.

Posh are looking to do the double over the Brewers after an Archie Collins strike settled the game at the Pirelli Stadium. 

TEAM NEWS

Posh are hopeful that Jimmy-Jay Morgan will return to the squad after missing the defeat to Vale after reporting some discomfort following the game at Blackpool. 

Sam Hughes, Rio Adebisi, Carl Johnston and Donay O'Brien-Brady are unavailable, but there is more encouraging news on Ben Woods who could return to the squad. 

Albion are not likely to make wholesale changes to their line-up with the dangerous Tyrese Shade and Jake Beesley expected to lead the line. 

ONE TO WATCH

Tyrese Shade

Following in the footsteps of Rumarn Burrell was always going to be a challenge but Tyrese Shade (pictured below) has certainly impressed leading the line for Albion following his move into the EFL. He has netted 14 goals so far this season and his pace and power have been a constant thorn in defences. Shade joined Burton from Eastleigh and has already been linked with a move higher up the pyramid with a reported bid of over £1 million turned down for his services.

MANAGER QUOTES

"We have to bounce back, we have to put in a positive performance and we know that we have to try and get some points, it is as simple as that. We have to lift the squad and get a reaction," Luke Williams said.
