The Reds are unbeaten in their last three home matches with the Posh and have won their last five at London Road. Last season was the second time in three seasons the two sides have met that The Reds did the "double" over Peterborough. Saturday's 3-1 win at Hull finally saw Darren Ferguson's side pick up their first points of the season after losing their opening seven games- their worst ever start to a season. The victory at the KC Stadium was Posh's first triumph on the road in 15 away games, dating back to Boxing Day. Barnsley are still unbeaten at Oakwell, the last time they did not lose any of their first four home matches was two seasons ago, but they lost the fifth also on the 2nd October. The Reds also have the same points total as they did at this stage of 2010-11. Victory tomorrow would give them 14 points from nine games- the first time they would have had such a high total at this stage since 2007-08.
