So can Posh finally build on winning a match as they take on fourth placed Preston? Only a home win is really good enough but unless Ferguson has instilled some positivity and forward thinking into his side then that eventuality still seems someway off? With three matches over the festive period, which takes us to halfway in the season, I think that Posh really need seven points minimum from those three matches which means that if they only draw this then they'd need to win at Chesterfield and at home against Doncaster, so no pressure!
Peterborough United midfielder Joe Newell serves a one-game suspension after being sent off in the victory at Leyton Orient last weekend.
Jack Baldwin and Jon Taylor (both knee) are injured, while Marcus Maddison is a doubt with an ankle injury.
Preston full-back David Buchanan will have a fitness test on a hamstring injury but defender Bailey Wright is out with a groin problem.
Strikers Joe Garner and Jordan Hugill (both knee) remain sidelined.
Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire:
"We need to improve our home form because we need to get more fans into the stadium.
"With Preston on Saturday and then Doncaster at home on 28 December, it's important we start getting some points at home.
"We have to make sure we stick to what we have worked on, stick to our game and not let anything affect us."
