PREVIEW: PETERBOROUGH v LEICESTER (Sports Insure Prem)

PETERBOROUGH go for a second successive Sports Insure Premiership victory when they host Leicester at the East of England Arena tonight (Monday).

The Panthers finally got off the mark last week against King’s Lynn and have Richie Worrall back in the side after he missed their previous two matches with a shoulder injury.

Michael Palm Toft guests at No.1 for the home side whilst Ben Cook moves up into the top five and skipper Hans Andersen drops to reserve.

Richard Lawson returns for the Lions after missing last Thursday’s narrow defeat at Ipswich after a crash last Monday, and Kyle Howarth comes in to guest for skipper Chris Harris who is away at a GP qualifier.

Panthers co-promoter Carl Johnson said: “It was a great feeling last week to finally get that first home win in what has been an exceptionally long time, and put some points on the board.

“Now for this meeting against Leicester we need to knuckle down and get the home victory we need.”

Lions boss Stewart Dickson said: “This should be a good fight between the two sides. We need to stick tight to the Panthers, with having a five-point lead from the home leg.

“If we can do that, keep this lead and grab the aggregate point as well, that would be good.”

PETERBOROUGH: Michael Palm Toft, Ben Cook, Benjamin Basso, Richie Worrall, Niels-Kristian Iversen, Hans Andersen, Jordan Jenkins.
LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Justin Sedgmen, Richard Lawson, Kyle Howarth, Nick Morris, Jake Allen, Dan Thompson.
