Plymouth v Peterborough preview
Thursday 23 August 2018 18:21, UK
Plymouth boss Derek Adams has a fully-fit squad for the visit of Sky Bet League One leaders Peterborough.
Antoni Sarcevic returned against Wycombe on Tuesday after a groin injury and came through the 1-1 draw unscathed.
Fellow midfielder Jamie Ness is available after serving a one-match suspension. Former Crystal Palace striker Freddie Ladapo is set to lead the line again after scoring his first Pilgrims goal in midweek.
Peterborough also have a clean bill of health as Steve Evans' side attempt to create club history. Posh have the chance to win their first five matches of a Football League season for the first time after chalking up victory number four with a last-gasp 1-0 success at Charlton on Tuesday.
Evans could name the same starting line-up for the fifth straight match, although summer signing Ivan Toney has impressed when coming off the bench. The in-form Siriki Dembele is fit despite picking up a couple of knocks at Charlton.
