An early kick-off and a near full house will welcome "We're not famous anymore United" tomorrow.
Newly-promoted Peterborough, like Leeds, haven't had any problems scoring goals this season, but they have also had a tendency to leak them at the other end.
Posh have also had their fair share of penalties, but I suppose with a member of the Ferguson clan at the helm, that must come as no real surprise.
If Leeds create a third of the chances made last Saturday, they should win.
Score prediction: Peterborough 1 Leeds 2

Peterborough v Leeds, Posh v Becks, Fergie v Macca. A full house will ensure a cup-tie atmosphere on Saturday, something United have relished on their travels, losing only once since January.
This game was moved to a noon kick-off before the ink was dry on the fixture list with the usual contempt for the travelling fan. I expect Kilkenny to replace Howson as the only change.
Peterborough are offensively strong, but with concerns remaining over the right-side of defence.
Score prediction: Peterborough 2 Leeds United 2

On past results we have only met in cup ties at London Road, winning 4-1 and 2-1, sandwiched by a 1-0 defeat.
Again, this is similar to last Saturday where if we pass the ball well and be patient we can come away with the win. No doubt Mr Ferguson junior will add spice to the occasion.
I don't think there will be any wholesale changes, so the hardest thing next is get the score right for a change!
Score prediction: Peterborough 0 Leeds United 2

Leeds head to London Road bright and early for a noon kick-off tomorrow.
Peterborough will be a strong defensive side and Leeds need to be careful that they do not catch us on the break.
Gary McAllister is spoilt for choice as the team are performing well and new players coming in are giving them a run for their money.
We may well see Robinson in the line-up following his effortless performance last week. Delph is showing more and more skill in every game.

Another early start for the Leeds fans travelling to Peterborough.
I can see Andrew Hughes returning to give us a bit more bite in midfield.
Peterborough have a strong home record and in Mackail-Smith they have a striker on top form who will ensure Telfer and Marques a busy afternoon.
In Beckford we also have a striker who will keep their defence busy and, with our midfield being on top form, I think we will have enough to secure another win.
