Peterborough United will now host local rivals Northampton Town in their League One fixture on Friday, April 16 (7pm kick off).

The game has been moved forward to avoid a clash with the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh which is scheduled for 3pm on Saturday, April 17.

Posh are second in League One following their 3-0 win at Swindon yesterday. Northampton are just outside the relegation zone after a 1-1 home draw with fellow strugglers Bristol Rovers.

Posh expect to have a fully fit squad with the exception of goalkeeper Christy Pym. Forward Sammie Szmodics is fit to return after missing the Swindon win with a dhoulder injury.
