Preston North End vs Peterborough United

THE ONE AND ONLY
Mark Beevers

Captain of the Posh and experienced in the Championship,
31-year-old Mark Beevers is no stranger to the basics of
defending. Playing 45 games last season, he clocked in
just over 4,000 minutes of game time to earn second place
with 87 points, two points short of League One champions
Hull City. Beevers traded Bolton for the Cambridgeshire
side in July 2019 and has now played 87 matches since
then. Being 6ft 3in tall, it will mean attackers may find
difficulty winning aerial battles, and he may just score
goals of his own from corners. Mark was awarded
captaincy upon arrival at the club and described winning
promotion to the Championship with Posh as the proudest
day of his career.

Pym decided to join the Posh from his only previous
club, Exeter City, in July 2019. The English shot-stopper
would go on to take the 2020/21 League One season by
storm, recording 16 clean sheets in 40 league matches,
only conceding 38 goals. Pym was vital in Peterborough’s
promotion push, meaning he can now face the challenge
of his first time in the Championship. Wearing the No.1
shirt, the ‘keeper will look to ensure that his side can
maintain their place in the league, after spending eight
long years away from it when relegated after the 2012/13
season.
