1st plays 3rd:
Peterborough defender Mark Little is available again after a shoulder injury but forward Lee Tomlinson is suspended.
Ipswich have recalled Paul Taylor from his loan spell, while midfielders Danny Kearns (hip) and Nathaniel Knight-Percival (ankle) are out injured.
League leaders Leyton Orient are likely to be without centre-back Mathieu Baudry (knee) for a second match.
Gary Sawyer should continue at left-back, with Scott Cuthbert at the heart of the defence.
VIEW FROM THE TRAINING GROUND
Peterborough United manager Darren Ferguson told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire:
"It will be a good atmosphere with a good crowd, they will bring about 1,500 with them, and these are the sorts of games that we generally do quite well in.
"They [Orient] have had a very good year and deserve to be there [at the top of League One] and I'm not overly surprised. Generally they are late starters and get form later in the season, but have done it the other way around this season.
"Everyone looks at how you react to a defeat. This season we have only really had two bad weeks - we lost to Crawley then drew with Crewe, and then drew with Sheffield United and lost to Colchester - and apart from that we have done really well.
"It's important that when we do have a little blip that we have a bit in hand on those teams around us and that we maintain our place in the top two."

Wasn't well enough to go to this but it's been coming (the result, not my illness). Ferguson said last week that good teams don't lose two on the bounce so what does that say about his team David Mooney scored a brace as Leyton Orient came from behind to win at promotion rivals Peterborough United. Tommy Rowe touched in Grant McCann's low free-kick to give Posh the lead but Orient pulled level when Mooney's shot on the turn found the top corner. The O's went ahead just after the break as Kevin Lisbie flicked on a long ball and Dean Cox lifted it neatly over advancing goalkeeper Bobby Olejnik. Mooney secured the points with a low finish after being fed by Cox. A victory for Peterborough would have moved them level on points with the League One leaders. It was an even first half, with a volley from Mooney hitting the crossbar shortly before his equaliser and O's keeper Jamie Jones denying Rowe a second goal just before half-time. But Orient looked much brighter after the break and could have won by a larger margin, with Olejnik saving from Cox and denying Mooney his hat-trick. Russell Slade's side remain three points clear at the top of the table, while Peterborough are three points behind second-placed Wolves, having played a game more. bbc
