Port Vale will be looking to back up their recent league victory over Shrewsbury Town by securing a positive result in their showdown with Peterborough United tomorrow.

Darrell Clarke's side sealed all three points in last weekend's meeting with the Shrews thanks to a brace from Ellis Harrison.

Currently 13th in the League One standings, Vale may fancy their chances of beating Peterborough as their opponents have suffered four consecutive defeats at this level.

A win for the Valiants in this fixture would result in them moving above Posh in the table.

Ahead of Saturday's game, we have decided to take a look at how Vale could line up at the Weston Homes Stadium...

Having utilised the 3-4-1-2 formation on numerous occasions this season, Clarke is expected to deploy this system again tomorrow.

Goalkeeper Jack Stevens will be hoping to claim his third league clean-sheet of the season in this particular fixture.

Nathan Smith will be accompanied in the heart of defence by Lewis Cass and Dan Jones.

Mal Benning and Gavin Massey meanwhile are expected to occupy the wing-back positions.

Funso Ojo will be partnered in the heart of midfield by Ben Garrity who has started in all nine of Vale's league fixtures this season.

Harrison will be looking to build upon his impressive performance against Shrewsbury by delivering another eye-catching display in his attacking midfield role tomorrow.

Whereas Daniel Butterworth is likely to keep his place in Vale's starting eleven, James Wilson could potentially make way for Dennis Politic.

Deployed as a striker in Vale's EFL Trophy clash with the Shrews in midweek, Politic managed to score a hat-trick at the Montgomery Waters Meadow.

Considering that the 22-year-old will be brimming with confidence following this particular display, it wouldn't be at all surprising if he goes on to cause Peterborough's defenders all kinds of issues in Saturday's fixture.

Providing that Vale are able to claim victory on their travels, they could potentially use the momentum gained from this result to push on in League One over the course of the coming months.
