FA Cup - Second Round - Peterborough v Luton on Sat 5 Dec @ 15:00
Hatters off to London Road in second round
The Town's reward for beating Crawley is a trip to League 1 side Peterborough United in the second round of the FA Cup. The tie will be played over the weekend 5th December. Posh progressed to the second round after a 3-0 victory at Burton Albion. It will be the second time the Hatters have played Posh in the competition, having won 3-0 at Kenilworth Road in a third round tie in 1983. There are plenty of connections between the two clubs with manager John Still, goalkeeper Mark Tyler, defender Scott Griffiths and strikers Josh McQuoid and Craig Mackail-Smith all previously with Peterborough. The Hatters' last visit to London Road was a 2-2 draw in the League 1 title season of 2004/05 - Tyler played in that game but couldn't keep out goals from Steve Howard and Kevin Nicholls.

Peterborough United entertain Sky Bet League Two side Luton Town at the ABAX Stadium in the second round of the Emirates FA Cup on Sunday afternoon (2pm).
Posh progressed into the second round of the competition following an emphatic 3-0 victory at Sky Bet League One leaders Burton Albion in the first round and go into the tie off the back of five straight wins.
The Hatters are struggling somewhat in League Two, but on paper have a talented squad and experienced boss John Still will be looking for a welcome distraction this weekend.
Of course, Luton will include plenty of familiar faces in their squad with goalkeeper Mark Tyler, defender Scott Griffiths and strikers Craig Mackail-Smith and Josh McQuoid all set to feature.
Boss Graham Westley is not too concerned with players making returns to their former club, but is excited about the competition and what can be earned.
'The FA Cup is massive to me personally and for the football club, it is huge. We know the dreams that the fans have of succeeding in this competition and we have seen recently, that clubs from the lower leagues can go far in the cup, you only have to look at what Bradford City achieved in the League Cup.
'We know the art of the possible. From a financial point of view, from a dreams point of view and even from the players point of view from a careers point of view, this competition can really be so important. The FA Cup is everything and if you give your heart and soul to it, it can provide some really good rewards.
'It might be a different competition but you have to remember, that this run started in the cup when we were handed a tie at Burton Albion. It was a difficult draw on paper and they are now the League One leaders and we smashed them, let's not mince our words, we went there and played very good football, we went forward with real drive, showed attacking intent and I have said it before, this competition rewards the teams that are brave, who play with adventure and are open.
'It does not reward the defensive, the hesitant, it rewards teams that are expansive and we have been playing that type of football, so why would we change it? We are trying to improve what we are doing. We had a long chat after the weekend and came up with our agenda for December and how we can improve and everyone is working hard to make that happen,' Westley said.
Posh will be without the services of defender Gabriel Zakuani (hamstring), Kgosi Ntlhe (toe), Joe Gormley (knee) and Shaun Brisley (knee) but are not reporting any fresh injuries for the tie.
Hatters midfielder Nathan Doyle is expected to return after injury. The Posh have progressed from 12 of their last 13 second round ties, but were eliminated at this point last season by Colchester United.
Former runners-up Luton have gone beyond round two in two of the last three seasons, but needed a replay to see off Bury last season.
The tie is all-ticket with no tickets available to purchase at the turnstiles on the day. Luton had sold nearly 2,000 tickets for the tie (as at 1pm on Friday) with over 5,500 home tickets sold.
Westley added: 'It is great that we are set to play in front of one of our biggest home crowds of the season on Sunday. The players are looking forward to it. You have to present the facts to people and it is a slow process, people want to be entertained. Football fans enjoy watching goals and they want to see good football with an intent to win and our lads are doing that. I am sure word is spreading.'

Peterborough v Preston North End FAC3 Sat 9/1/16
Peterborough United entertain Sky Bet Championship side Preston North End at the ABAX Stadium on Saturday afternoon (3pm) in the third round of the Emirates FA Cup.
Posh reached this stage of the competition following victories at Burton Albion and against Luton Town with Graham Westley's men yet to concede a goal in the fixtures they have participated in.
Recent loan signings Martin Samuelsen and Lawrie Wilson have been given persmission to play in the competition. Shaun Brisley, Gabriel Zakuani, Kgosi Ntlhe, Jermaine Anderson and Joe Gormley are sidelined with injury while Michael Bostwick is not expected to feature, although he has received better news on his injury following a scan.
"We were awesome in our last FA Cup tie against Luton and we were very good in the previous round at Burton," manager Graham Westley said this week. "Our attacking game is in very good order, but we plan to be even more expansive against Preston.
“It doesn’t matter to us who we are playing or what division they are in. We will play in the same attacking style because we want to put on a show for our fans as much as we want to win the game. Before each round I say FA Cup ties favour the brave and there are not many teams who are as brave as we are. We have a very tough match ahead of us, but we don’t want our FA Cup journey to end on Saturday.”
Preston have extended the loan deal of winger Adam Reach until the end of the campaign from Middlesbrough and signed Aston Villa front man Callum Robinson for a similar period. He enjoyed a loan stint with North End last season.
The Lilywhites had sold around 500 tickets in advance for the cup-tie.

Posh 2 Preston 0 (Samuelsen 7′ Washington 52′)
Excellent display from the Posh, perhaps one of the best home perfomances I've seen for several seasons. Not sure whether we were good or PNE were poor? It was a bit of both I think.

FAC4 (Sat 30/1/16) West Brom or Bristol City V Peterborough United
So that looks like the end of the thread. WBA got out of jail in FAC3 with an injury time equaliser on Saturday. I can't see a team in the Championship relegation zone (or thereabouts) finishing in the replay what they started in the 1st match, so Posh will go to The Hawthorns again with the odds on a home win. If Posh keep their form & fitness though they could cause the Baggies problems.
