Peterborough
Burnley kick off their FA Cup campaign with a match against Peterborough United. The Clarets have slim chances of booking their place in European competitions through the Premier League, meaning that they are eager to record a good result in the FA Cup. Over the years Burnley have turned their Turf Moor into a real fortress, and they are seen as hot favourites to win Saturday’s football match against the League One side.
A man to keep an eye in the home team will be Chris Wood, who has been producing fine displays in the Premier League this season. The Posh, on the other hand, have been struggling at the back in recent festive fixtures; therefore, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Burnley’s party at Turf Moor. In their last meeting at Burnley’s home ground the Clarets outclassed the Posh 5

Peterborough’s home colour is blue, whilst the colour of their away kit is blue. The Posh have the third kit as well where yellow and black are the dominant colours.
Peterborough United’s biggest success came in the 1964/1965 when the club booked their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals. Chelsea, though, proved to be a big catch for the Posh, beating them 5-1 in London.
