Peterborough are ready to welcome Colchester United to London Road Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Posh are clearly on top, having won 22 and lost only 8 of the 34 games.
The previous match played between the two at London Road Ground was more than three years back, in March 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a League One match.
