Bristol Rovers forward Tom Nichols could face former club Peterborough
Posted Wednesday, August 16, 2017 by PA
Tom Nichols could line up against his old club Peterborough in Bristol Rovers' first Sky Bet League One home game of the season.
Striker Nichols joined Rovers last month after scoring 14 goals for Posh in the 2016-17 campaign.
Rovers boss Darrell Clarke kept changes to a minimum for the 4-1 Carabao Cup victory against Cambridge in midweek and will be seeking to keep momentum going.
Daniel Leadbitter and Joe Partington will contest a full-back spot if James Clarke has not recovered from the injury he picked up in the opening league game at Charlton.
Peterborough manager Grant McCann is expected to revert to his first-choice team at the Memorial Stadium.
Posh were beaten 3-1 in their Carabao Cup tie against Barnet after making several changes.
McCann was unimpressed by the display, saying his players paid the price after a sluggish start.
Midfielder Anthony Grant, full-back Leo Da Silva Lopes and centre-back Steven Taylor are all likely to be recalled.
