Bristol Rovers vs Peterborough United: Kick off time and how to watch

Bristol Rovers have already beaten a table-topping side this season, and Ben Garner will hope his side can repeat the trick on Tuesday night when Peterborough United visit the Mem.

The Gas toppled Lincoln City at Sincil Bank last month when the Imps sat atop League One, and Rovers will use that as a cause for motivation and optimism as they take on the division's current in-form side Peterborough.

Posh top the scoring charts as well as the league table, with former Rovers striker Jonson Clarke-Harris leading the line, and Darren Ferguson's side are sure to pose a tough test for the Gas.

But Garner is confident his side has what it takes to overcome a league-leading side once again. Here is everything you need to know about tomorrow's game.

How to watch

No fans will be allowed into the Mem as the Government's fan ban continues with lockdown measures set to be implemented on Thursday, but Gasheads will be able to watch all the action live on iFollow Gas with full commentary.

Season ticket holders will receive access as part of their ticket, and one-off match passes are available for £10 – the vast majority of which is distributed to the club.

Kick-off time

Earlier kick-offs are swiftly becoming the new norm in the EFL with games played behind closed doors.

They are seen as beneficial to players' fitness, allowing them to get home earlier after a taxing game and minimising disruption to their sleep patterns – making them less susceptible to injuries and fatigue as the season goes on.

Kick-off on Tuesday is at 7pm, 45 minutes earlier than the typical midweek game to give the players a bit more recovery time ahead of this weekend's FA Cup first round ties.
