The Posh topped in their group after wins over Southampton U21s and Cambridge, while drawing with Northampton Town too, before going down on penalties to the Cobblers.

They defeated Southend United 2-0 in the second round last week, as the game could see a return to Kenilworth Road for strikers Jack Marriott and Ricky Miller, who are both now at the ABAX Stadium.
