Posh welcome Stockport County to the Weston Homes Stadium on Thursday evening in Sky Bet League One action (8pm).
Peterborough United are back in Sky Bet League One action on Thursday evening as Luke Williams' side welcome high-flying Stockport County to the Weston Homes Stadium (8pm).
Posh go into the game on the back of three successive victories in all competitions with the latest success coming in the Vertu Trophy at Sky Bet League Two side Crawley Town.
TEAM NEWS
Posh are without the services of defenders Rio Adebisi, George Nevett, Sam Hughes and winger Cian Hayes due to injury, while midfielder Matt Garbett will be assessed as he has been in America with his country, New Zealand, starting the first game with Columbia and coming on as a second half substitute against Ecuador.
Owen Dodgson returns to the Hatters after serving a suspension following a red card, while Benony Breki Andresson is also available after international duty.
ONE TO WATCH
Malik Mothersille
Jamaica international Malik Mothersille (pictured below) joined County in July 2025, becoming the Club’s new record signing in the process. Signing from fellow League One side Peterborough United, the undisclosed fee paid for Malik’s services eclipsed the £800,000 paid to Nottingham Forest for Ian Moore in 1998.
It represented a big investment from the Club into one of the brightest young prospects in the Football League, with 21-year-old Malik enjoying an outstanding final season at Peterborough. Also capable of playing out wide or as a number 10, Malik’s performances last season saw him receive international acclaim after being called up to the Jamaican national team by Steve McClaren, making his debut for the Reggae Boyz against Nigeria in May.
MANAGER QUOTES
"Stockport are a very good side and manager Dave Challinor has done a fantastic job. They have enjoyed tremendous success and it doesn't matter they have had a budget to work with, you still have to bring the right players and characters into your group," manager Luke Williams said.
