Lincoln City v Posh

A look ahead to Saturday's Sky Bet League One clash at the LNER Stadium between Lincoln City and Posh (3pm).

Peterborough United travel to the LNER Stadium to face Lincoln City in Sky Bet League One action on Saturday afternoon (3pm) with Darren Ferguson's men looking to build on a three-match unbeaten run in all competitions. 

A last gasp goal from Millenic Alli denied Posh a 1-0 win over Exeter City at the Weston Homes Stadium on Tuesday evening. 

The Imps were 1-0 winners over Northampton Town at Sixfields last time out and currently 12th in the League One table.

TEAM NEWS

Posh are without the services of Kwame Poku and Rio Adebisi, but midfielder Mahamadou Susoho will be in the 18-man squad after coming through 45 minutes for the Under 21s earlier this week at Burnley. 

Manager Darren Ferguson is reporting no fresh injury worries in the camp following that draw with the Grecians. The Imps are expected to hand a debut to James Collins who made the move from Derby County earlier this week. 

MANAGER QUOTES

"Lincoln had a good win at Northampton and they have strengthened their front line with the signing of James Collins who will definitely be a threat at this level, he is a threat in the Championship as well. For us, we are looking forward to the game. It is a game that is fairly local, there will be a big following of supporters making the trip. We were so close to the three points on Tuesday and there were lots of positives from that performance," Darren Ferguson said.
