Saturday’s football game at Weston Homes Stadium pits together Peterborough United and Birmingham City, the two sides who sit in the opposite halves of the table ahead of Matchday 8.

Blackpool

Buoyed by a 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough will be aiming to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Blackpool at their Riverside Stadium. The Boro did well to put an end to their four-game winless run, but they do not want to stop now.

Buoyed by a 4-1 win over Birmingham City, Fulham will be aiming to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Reading at Craven Cottage.

Stoke City

All eyes will be on Pride Park when Derby County and Stoke City go head to head in the Championship round 8. The Rams made a slow start to the season, and, no doubt, Wayne Rooney feels pressure ahead of Saturday’s clash.
