Port Vale Hub
Port Vale are facing a tough trip to Peterborough United with several key players injured. Centre-forward Jayden Stockley was forced off at half-time in Vale's 0-0 home draw with Barnsley on Tuesday night.
What's the injury situation?
Stockley has joined influential defender Kyle John, veteran midfielder Funso Ojo, central defender Ben Heneghan, and midfielder George Byers on the absentee list for the game at the Weston Homes Stadium.
How will this affect the team's chances?
Vale are 15 points from safety and will be relegated if they lose at Posh and if AFC Wimbledon pick up a point from a Wednesday night home game with Stockport County.
Who are the players to watch?
Forward Ben Waine, a New Zealand international teammate of Posh star Matty Garbett, made his name this season with vital FA Cup goals including the winner in a 1-0 success over Premier League Sunderland. His three League One goals make him the top scorer in Vale's squad alongside Stockley.

What's the form guide?
Vale haven't lost or conceded a goal in their last two matches with the draw against Barnsley following a 1-0 win over relegated Rotherham. They are the lowest scorers in the division with 30 goals in 40 games, but have conceded the 10th fewest goals.
What are the big match odds?
Posh are 4-6 to win tomorrow's match with Sky Bet who have Port Vale listed at 100-30. It's 29-20 for the draw.
As of 24 Jun 2026, Port Vale are preparing for a crucial match against Peterborough United, with their league standing and recent form hanging in the balance.
