Rovers Under-21s return to action this afternoon for their sixth and final Premier League Cup group game, with Peterborough United Under-21s the visitors to Leyland.

Having triumphed over the Posh with a 3-2 win in the reverse fixture in September, with Harry Leonard netting a hat-trick at Stamford's Zeeco Stadium, Rovers will be aiming to record a double over the Cambridgeshire-based side.

Leonard's likely to be in contention to lead the line, but changes are expected to the side that earned a 3-1 Premier League International Cup victory over Celtic B on Wednesday night at the same venue.

With the first-team's home encounter on the horizon on Monday evening, it's doubtful that the likes of Ash Phillips, Tayo Edun, Sam Szmodics and Sorba Thomas, who all featured for the Under-21s in midweek, will be involved against the Posh.

The absences of those players may mean chances are offered to others, with Kristi Montgomery, Patrick Gamble and the fit-again George Pratt all waiting in the wings and hoping for starts.

Sam Burns will also be hoping to have done enough in that win against Celtic to be named in the XI. He found the back of the net just seconds after entering the action off the bench.
