All hopes were high in a packed stadium with 29,389 spectators. Robbie Savage was in charge of his first league match for Peterborough, and his team quickly took control, pressing Leicester from the start.

Strangely both Harry Souttar and Sammy Braybrooke were left out of the team, both players having a lot of trust over the first games, and another random pick today. This looked far from organized with a lot of uncertainty in the starting minutes.

McCarthy in goal, Aluko on the right in defence, Thomas to the left, Okoli and O’Hora in the middle. Lundstram, BDCR and Page in midfield, Riis, Cullen and Alves up front. This team lacked balance, Aluko and BDCR struggling, both looking very uncomfortable. Lundstram was also taken out by the Peterborough midfielders, seeing Robbie Savage having made his homework before his first game.

Another random pick of players from Russell Martin. Starting debut for Riley Carr and Tommy Neale, Carr up front alongside Admir Bristric and Tommy Watson. Neale in midfield with Sammy Braybrooke and Kamari Doyle, playing Harry Souttar and Olabade Aluko in the middle of defence, Christian McFarlane to the left and Woyo Coulibaly to the right. Franco Ravizzoli in goal.

Leicester starting bright and creating chances, Kamiri Doyle, Tommy Neale and Riley Carr are all lively from start, but all those attempts just goes out with the water. Leicester totally dominates the ball and have many more fantastic chances to score, but instead former Leicester player Wanya Marcal gives Stevenage the lead after 24 minutes.

A number of players out on international duty at the moment, but despite of those absentees, Leicester were able to field a strong side in this EFL (Jersey Mike’s) Trophy game.

Goalkeeper Franco Ravizzoli made his debut. Admir Bristric was back in the team, starting up front. Also starts for Tommy Watson, Caleb Okoli, BDCR and Kamari Doyle, who was not part of the starting line-up vs. Barnsley.
