Barry Fry's injury problems forced him to play his reserve team at Tranmere last month and he is still missing several key players.
Tom Cowan, Jon Cullen, Richard Forsyth, Andy Clarke, Lee Clarke and Gareth Jellyman are all expected to miss the game and former F*rest striker Jason Lee has been ruled out for th remainder of the season.
However, Jimmy Bullard has completed his suspension and will line up against the Magpies tonight.
Despite their injury problems Peterborough had a fine 2-0 win at Bournemouth on Saturday and must be taken seriously.
Ian Baraclough begins a three match suspension todayand his place will either be taken by the versatile Richard Liburd or the inconsistent Kevin Nicholson who returns to the first team.
Otherwise the team will be unchanged from Saturday.
There has been a change in the arrangements for away fans at London Road after wind damaged the Main Stand last week. No seats will be available and Notts fans will be forced to stand at the Moy's End.
