Peterborough are ready to welcome Hartlepool United to London Road Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Posh are clearly on top, having won 14 and lost only 6 of the 26 games.
The previous match played between the two at London Road Ground was within the last three years, in August 2008, with Hartlepool U. inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Posh in a League One match.
