Peterborough play host to Hartlepool United at London Road Ground on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Posh are clearly on top, having won 13 and lost only 3 of the 22 games.
The last time the two teams met at Peterborough was just over four years ago, in August 1999, the Posh carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League Division Three match.
