MONDAY’S PREMIERSHIP TEAM NEWS + FORM GUIDE
PREMIERSHIP champions Belle Vue return home after a successful week on the road when they host Peterborough.
The Aces’ last outing at the NSS saw them beaten by Sheffield four weeks ago, but they are now top of the table after wins at Ipswich, Peterborough and Leicester (in a Super Heat).
The hosts are at full strength whilst the Panthers operate rider replacement at No.1 whilst they seek to fill the gap left by the exit of Nicki Pedersen.
BELLE VUE: Dan Bewley, Norick Blodorn, Tom Brennan, Charles Wright, Brady Kurtz, Jaimon Lidsey, Jake Mulford.
PETERBOROUGH: Nicki Pedersen R/R, Hans Andersen, Benjamin Basso, Richie Worrall, Niels-Kristian Iversen, Ben Cook, Jordan Jenkins.
Last season’s meetings between the sides in Manchester resulted in two big Aces wins, but the Panthers were far more successful on their visits in 2021.
