Injury update:
"Chris Willock has had a scan on his rec fem (rectus femoris). It's pretty positive news, but he definitely won't be available for Saturday.
"I don't think he will be available for Blackpool, either. I think we are looking at after the international break.
"The top of his thigh, he had some pain there before but he has had a recurrence of that over the last week or so."
"Callum (Robinson) rocked his ankle in training on Monday and wasn't fit on Tuesday morning.
"He will be assessed but he is a doubt for Saturday. We have a few doubts for Saturday based on the week we've had."
BB-M on Peterborough:
"We are trying to prepare today and tomorrow to give ourselves a chance of winning the game.
"Peterborough have brought in Luke Williams so it's more important than ever to focus on ourselves
"I have a real awareness of what Luke has done before and what his teams have done in the past and his style of play.
"I'm sure he will have a really big impact straight away and that the players will want to play for him. New managers coming in, the impact can be instant."
It’s a cinch
Nine clubs seek to rekindle former glories.
Nine of the 80 sides in the first round have previously lifted the trophy.
On Saturday (15:00 GMT), four-time winners Bolton host 1922 winners Huddersfield, with Wanderers having beaten the Terriers on the path to two of those previous triumphs in 1923 and 1929... could 2026 be their year?
Cardiff, 1927 winners, head to League One rivals Peterborough at the same time while 1953 winners Blackpool are at home to National League high-fliers Scunthorpe.
Wigan Athletic - the most recent winners of any team in this year's first round, having triumphed in 2013 - welcome National League South side Hemel Hempstead Town, who toppled Yeovil in the previous round and have reached this stage for just the third time in 105 attempts.
Bradford, the 1911 champions, are on the road at League Two Cheltenham while AFC Wimbledon - yes, we are giving them the 1988 cup - welcome National League outfit Gateshead to Plough Lane.
Barnsley, winners in 1912, host Yorkshire rivals and 1955 semi-finalists York City of the National League, while Notts County - more on them shortly - visit Brackley Town.

Is the game likely to be shown anywhere live today does anyone kniw?
If we draw there are replays in the first round aren’t there? I’m guessing it would be a week Tuesday when we are due to play Arsenal under 21s.
No replays - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cwy50zlpw2qo
Just checked and there’s no replays. Extra time and penalties. Shame that as replays are part of the cup to me.
Is this game being televised? I notice it's not available to watch on CCTV. And I can't find it anywhere else.
'FAWA News' website was always reliable, but I can't see anything on there today.
Where is Ng
Why roll him out for pre match nonsense and not include him in squad
Thought he’d be a shoe in for this game
That's quite a strong starting XI.
I love this guy. Top attitude (Bolton apart).
