Peterborough United will aim for a third consecutive victory in all competitions this Saturday when they welcome Burton Albion. The match at the Weston Homes Stadium, which begins in the early afternoon, is manager Robbie Savage's initial league fixture at home.

Savage's team currently holds a position in the lower half of the League One standings, sitting 20th on just 8 points from nine games, with a record of two wins and five defeats. They are encouraged by recent successes against Leicester City and Ipswich Town Under-21s in a cup competition, part of a recent run of three wins and two losses from their last five matches. The 3-1 win at Leicester on Saturday 10 October, with goals from Owura Edwards, Harry Leonard, and an own goal, was a particular highlight.

Team news and injuries

Midfielder Ben Woods may not be available after needing a scan on a knee issue. Defender Tom O'Connor is working on his match readiness with the younger squad, while Sam Hughes and Rio Adebisi continue their rehabilitation.

Burton, led by Gary Bowyer, will likely miss Joe Lewis and Kyran Lofthouse. The visiting team, currently 10th, has secured away victories this season. Their young forward Finn Delap, who became a professional recently, has gained experience with loan moves.
