Fleetwood Town Under 18s v Posh Under 18s

Peterborough United Under 18s are back in Professional Development League action on Saturday (11am) with a trip to Fleetwood Town.

It has been a busy seven days for the Under 18s with a win over Birmingham City earlier in the week as well as a number of players featuring for the Under 21s against the same opposition on Friday. 

The players travelled up to Lancashire on Friday ahead of the early start on Saturday with Jimmy Unwin's men looking to cap off a decent week.

TEAM NEWS 

Max Beech is pushing for a start after making his comeback from injury in recent weeks, while a number of Under 16s could feature after helping the team to beat Birmingham on Tuesday. 

THE OPPOSITION 

The Cod Army go into the game on the back of an eye-catching 2-0 victory over Sheffield United, who Posh will face in the final of the PDL Cup. Fleetwood sit just one place above Posh in the league table. 

FROM THE MANAGER 

Professional Development Phase (Under 18s) Lead Coach Jimmy Unwin said ahead of the game: “It is a long old way to go and we will go there with a young group, but that presents opportunities and it is down to those players to take those opportunities."
