TEAM NEWSGrant Basey has overcome a knee problem and will be in the Peterborough squad along with David Ball, who has shaken off a knock. Goalkeeper Joe Lewis is still recovering from a knee injury and Dave Hibbert is also sidelined. Palace are set to give debuts to Andrew Davies, Ryan McGivern and Peter Ramage. Nathaniel Clyne is sidelined with a foot injury and fellow defender Dean Moxey is suspended for the first three games of the season.
MATCH FACTSHead-to-head • This is the 23rd competitive meeting of these clubs. Peterborough have won six of the previous 22, Crystal Palace seven, with nine drawn. • Peterborough last took maximum points off the Eagles 35 years ago. • But Posh have never lost a home league game to Palace (W3, D6). Peterborough United • The play-off winners are making an immediate return to the Championship for only their fourth campaign at this level. • Not lost at home in 17 outings, since a 5-1 reverse to Charlton on 13 November last year. • Darren Ferguson is one of two Football League managers beginning a full season in their second spell at the same club. The other is Micky Adams (Port Vale). Crystal Palace • Embarking on their 13th second tier campaign in 14 years, and making a seventh successive attempt to return to the Premier League, last graced in 2005. • Won three and drawn two of the last five seasonal openers. • Dougie Freedman is one of 45 managers in the top four divisions starting a first full season with his current club. BBC
Could be anything although the quality sides in the division will see a visit to Posh in terms of Swales view of our Swindon trip this week (ie. must win, and they probably will). Posh's target is survival and London Road will not be the fun that it was last season (after Ferguson's arrival that is) so just try to enyoy the ride

Oh ye of little faith Great win and a great performance. Nice to have someone in goal who didn't make you panic everytime the ball went near our 18 yard box. |

Peterborough came back from a goal down to beat Crystal Palace.
The home side went behind when the ball broke to Sean Scannell in the Posh area and he cleverly flicked the ball over keeper Paul Jones for the opener.
Peterborough increased the pressure for an equaliser after the break and were rewarded when Grant McCann drilled in a first-time shot low into the corner.
David Ball came off the bench to grab the winner when he nodded in a Mark Little cross.
Palace narrowly escaped relegation last season and their capitulation will prove a worry for manager Dougie Freedman.
The Eagles started promisingly enough and almost scored straight from the kick-off when a shot from winger Scannell was forced around the post by keeper Jones.
McCann responded for Peterborough and his long range shot was tipped over the bar by Julian Speroni before Scannell gave Palace the lead.
Defender Peter Ramage kept the visitors ahead when he blocked a fierce drive from Ball on the goal-line but Palace failed to keep their hosts at bay for much longer.
Lee Tomlin played a free-kick into the path of McCann and he powered in a shot before Ball added a second for Posh to secure victory.
