Peterborough United
The Posh lost yet another away game at the weekend going down by a single goal to West Ham United.
They are yet to win on their travels this season despite putting up good performances on each occasion.
Posh will be looking to chalk up away win number one but will have to do it without the services of the influential Lee Tomlin. Tomlin picked up an injury against West Ham which could see him out of action for some time.
Posh have played 4 games away from home so far, losing to Blackpool, Brighton and West Ham while picking up their solitary away point from a 2-2 draw at Millwall.
Overall this season, Posh have won three, drawn one and lost four in their eight League games.
