Skipper Luke Chambers, Teddy Bishop, James Norwood and Stephen Ward return to the what looks like a 4-4-2 Town starting line-up for this evening’s game at Peterborough United.

Chambers comes in at right-back for Luke Matheson, who drops to the bench, while Ward is back on the left with Myles Kenlock among the subs.

Bishop is back in what looks to be a four-man diamond midfield with Norwood joining Troy Parrott up front, Town eschewing their usual 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 system presumably due to the tricky London Road pitch.

Former Posh wideman Gwion Edwards and Freddie Sears are also on the bench, while Luke Thomas is missing from the 18.

Peterborough are without star attacker Siriki Dembele with Mo Eisa coming into an otherwise unchanged side.

Despite being cold, there is little sign of snow in the Peterborough area and the game appears to be in no danger of being abandoned.

Peterborough: Pym, Butler, Thompson, Beevers (c), Kent, Eisa, Taylor, Clarke-Harris, Brown, Szmodics, Ward. Subs: Gyollai, Burrows, Jones, Blake-Tracy, Kanu, Hamilton, Mason.

Town: Holy, Chambers (c), Woolfenden, McGuinness, Ward, Dozzell, Downes, Bishop, Judge, Parrott, Norwood. Subs: Cornell, Kenlock, Matheson, Harrop, Edwards, Sears, Drinan. Referee: Ben Toner (Lancashire).

Kirbmeister added 19:11 - Feb 9 Some of you ‘fans' do nothing but bloody moan. God it's so boring. Have you seen the state of the ‘boro pitch? No one's playing football on that.

Bert added 19:16 - Feb 9 More interested in Dembele being absent. Who knows the reasons for team selection but two up top may be why ?

Karlosfandangal added 19:31 - Feb 9 I get the resting players with so many games coming up But rest the full backs after this game or pull them at the 70 min mark. Let's hope Ward and Chambers play like they in in the first few games of the season

Wishing4arightback added 19:52 - Feb 9 Kirbmeister, ut would have been nice to have actually tried. I would rather we lose but 5rying to play football and build confidence in players rather than play favourites and still lose!
