There were no winners in Peterborough United's previous match, a Championship home game that ended 2-2 vs Cardiff City (placed 5th). Attacker Jonson Clarke-Harris got a player rating of 8.0 in the game. "Man of the match" Clarke-Harris signed up for two assists and hit two key passes. Drawing 2-2 against Cardiff City after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager D. Ferguson needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Derby County.
