Peterborough United host Cheltenham Town in League One on Saturday (March 11, 3pm).

The return game on the opening day of the season was an absolute thriller with Posh storming back from 2-0 down at half time but Posh will be hoping for an easier ride today.

Especially since they have now closed to within seven points of the play-off places and will be looking to keep up the pressure.
