A look ahead to Tuesday night's Sky Bet League One fixture at Broadfield Stadium against Crawley Town (7.45pm).
Peterborough United are back on the road on Tuesday evening with a trip to Crawley Town in Sky Bet League One action (7.45pm) as Darren Ferguson's men look to get back to winning ways following the weekend defeat to Reading.
Crawley have won both games since Scott Lindsay returned to the hot-seat following the departure of Rob Elliot including an emphatic 4-0 victory at Rotherham United.
Posh are nine points clear of both Crawley and Burton with a better goal difference going into the game with the Reds.
TEAM NEWS
Defender Oscar Wallin is back in the squad after missing the weekend defeat to Reading so only Rio Adebisi remains on the sidelines.
Louie Watson and Harry Forster both picked up knocks at the weekend but are expected to be fit and Crawley are unlikely to change a winning side.
MANAGER QUOTE
"I have watched both of Crawley's games since Scott went back, they probably should have beaten Bristol Rovers 4-0 the amount of chances they created and then of course they went to Rotherham and picked up a superb result. We will have to be really good out of possession, Crawley have really good rotation and we must make sure we don't get spooked by that. I was disappointed with the manner of the goals we conceded at the weekend, but also pleased with how we finished the game," Ferguson said.
ONE TO WATCH
Rushian Hepburn-Murphy
Hepburn-Murphy is a product of the Aston Villa youth academy. On 14thMarch 2015, he made his league debut for Aston Villa, coming on as a substitute for the last seven minutes in place of Christian Benteke in the 4–0 away victory at Sunderland. At the age of 16 years and 176 days, he is the second youngest player in the club's history. He is also the youngest player to appear in a match for the club during the Premier League era.
On 11 January 2019, Hepburn-Murphy agreed to join Cambridge United on loan for the remainder of the season. On 2nd August 2019, Hepburn-Murphy joined Tranmere Rovers on a season-long loan. He made his debut as a 45th-minute substitute in Tranmere's opening day 2–3 loss to Rochdale, picking up a 90th minute red card for violent conduct. On 2 November 2019, Hepburn-Murphy scored his first league goals for Tranmere, and his first ever career hattrick in a 3–1 victory over MK Dons. He returned to Aston Villa earlier than planned on 31 January 2020. After a spell in Cyprus, he joined Swindon Town before making the move to the Reds in the summer.
