LIVE: PETERBOROUGH UNITED VS MIDDLESBROUGH- Posh well beaten by Middlesbrough
Posh will be without the services of captain Oliver Norburn and goalkeeper Steven Benda. Ronnie Edwards is also a doubt after suffering with Covid this week.
They could welcome back Ricky-Jade Jones though to face a Middlesbrough side whose charge up the table in recent weeks has stalled slightly with only two wins in their lest five. One of the two defeats came away at Barnsley.

Posh lose it in the final third, looks like its Fuchs. Watmore steals it, charges into the box and smashes it into the roof of the net. This is how the scoreline shuld look really.
84 mins 3-0 Boro
Coburn scores after coming off the bench. Fuchs does his best to sprint back against Bola but it’s not enoguh and he gets a ball into the box after a run the entire length of the Posh half. It’s a terrible ball actually and Coburn looks like he has to almost knee it in becuase it’s an awkward height but he’s unmarked and has the time.
80 mins 2-0 Boro
Really in nothng happening. The current table has Boro outside out top 6 on alphabetical order as they have an exactly identical record to Blackburn. Them stopping playing really is strange.
