Peterborough preview: Williams to build on a brilliant start
Luke Williams has had the infamous ‘new manager bounce' on his side since he took over at the end of October, and he will look to build on that momentum by sticking with the same starting XI that beat Wimbledon 5-0 in their last league match. On the injury front, the Posh are without George Nevett, Rio Adebisi, Sam Hughes and Cian Hayes.
Predicted lineup: Bass (GK), Kioso, Lees, O'Connor, Mills, Woods, Collins, Odoh, Garbett, Lisbie, Leonard
Last five results
- Crawley 1-2 Peterborough
- Peterborough 5-0 AFC Wimbledon
- Peterborough 1-0 Cardiff City

Stockport preview: Looking for a response
Dave Challinor will be hoping that his side's 3-0 home defeat to Luton before the break was just an anomaly in what has been a spectacular season for County so far. One man who will come into the starting XI for this one is Owen Dodgson, who missed the clash with Luton due to suspension.
Predicted lineup: Hinchliffe (GK), O'Keeffe, Connolly, Pye, Dodgson, Camps, Diamond, Moxon, Lowe, Wootton, Bailey
Last five results
- Stockport 2-1 Wigan

- Stockport 1-0 Exeter
Player to watch: Kyle Wooton
Kyle Wooton has had a brilliant start to the season for Stockport County, and he is currently on six league goals and three league assists for the season so far. Wooton will have the golden boot in his sights, and at present, he is just one goal away from being the league's top scorer.
