Posh Under 18s turn their focus on a trip to the Steel City on Saturday afternoon (12pm) with Sheffield United the task at hand.
Peterborough United Under 18s are back in Professional Development League action on Saturday when they face Sheffield United on the road.
Our youngsters arrive in Sheffield having won both games back since the prolonged festive break. Bolu Shofowoke put the seal on the victory over Swindon Town with his hat-trick last time out, booking a place in the semi-final of the PDL Cup.
Before that, Joe Davies and Noah Freeman were on hand to guide our Under 18s to victory over Barnsley on their return to league action.
It was an indifferent result for the Blades, who head into the game having come away with defeat against the Tykes last weekend.
TEAM NEWS
Eddie Fox misses out after picking up a knock with the Under 21s in midweek. The midfielder joins Max Beech and Milan Kovaci as the only absentees ahead of Saturday.
THE OPPOSITION
Currently second in the Professional Development League table, Sheffield United will be looking to close the gap between top-spot Burnley who sit at the reach of the table by three points. The Blades have seen 11 victories, three draws and four defeats over the course of the campaign and recently joined Posh in the last four of the PDL Cup with a 6-1 triumph over Brentford.
FROM THE MANAGER
“I’m really pleased with the Swindon performance. The boys are full of confidence and ready to go again. Sheffield United are a really good academy; produce good talent and are always up there in the league so it will be a really tough test, but one we’re looking forward to,” Professional Development Phase (Under 18s) Lead Coach Jimmy Unwin said.
LIVE UPDATES
Updates of the game will be available on The Posh Academy X account, with post-match reaction accessible on Posh+.
