Lyle Taylor will be hoping to fit for the Dons as he suffered a dead leg in last week's FA Cup win over Lincoln City. Taylor scored the winner last weekend but suffered the injury towards the closing stages of the game.
Striker Kwesi Appiah will also be unavailable for Wimbledon after he suffered a setback in his recovery and he will be out till after Christmas.
Peterborough United will be without Ricky Miller who is currently under investigation for allegedly assaulting a police officer and therefore is currently unavailable for selection due to the circumstances surrounding him.
Striker Junior Morias is still ruled out after he was taken off in the game against Oldham Atheltic in September with a serious thigh injury. Defender Alex Penny is back after returning from illness.
The Dons come into this game having won three of their last six in all competitions including a very impressive 3-1 win over 6th place Rotherham United.
The Posh on the other hand, have won only two of their last six in all competitions but recently they ended Shrewsbury Town's unbeaten record in the league and in their last game beat local rivals Cambridge United 2-0 away from home in the Checkatrade Trophy.
OPTA STATS
This is only the third ever league meeting between the sides with Peterborough United yet to pick up a win, however they did play each other in the first round of last season's League Cup where The Posh beat AFC Wimbledon 3-2.
If AFC Wimbledon lose today it will be the first time they have lost three games in a row since 2016
In League One, Peterborough United have failed to win any of their last five games on the road which is their worst run since 2015 where they failed to pick up three points in eight.
Lyle Taylor has been directly involved in each of Wimbledon's last four league goals (three goals, one assist), including a hat-trick at home to Rotherham.
No player has scored more goals away from home in League One this season than Jack Marriott (six, level with Tarique Fosu-Henry)
