It will be the first match the Blues will have played since their Champions League triumph against Man City in May.

The Posh finished second in League One last season, ensuring promotion to the Championship.

Thomas Tuchel will be without his players who competed at Euro 2020 and Copa America.

The German will still have 29 players to choose from so there is not a lack of options.
