Spotlight on the Sheffield United - Blades
Star man: CHED Evans moved from Manchester City to Sheffield United in the summer for a bank-busting £3 million.
Star man:
CHED Evans moved from Manchester City to Sheffield United in the summer for a bank-busting 3 million.Striker Evans was highly rated as he progressed through the City Academy, but he left after finding his way to the first-team blocked by some expensive big-name signings.
The Welsh international - he has nine caps and two goals to his name - has yet to set Bramall Lane on fire as he's netted just three goals in 12 appearances so far, but he will be expected to lead the line tomorrow as top scorer Darius Henderson is suspended.
Evans could therefore come face to face with his international team-mate, Posh centre-back Craig Morgan.
Match coverage and live updates: Sheffield United v Posh.
-------------------
Others to watch:
SHEFFIELD United have been bedevilled by injuries during their slide down the Championship table and two of the side that drew with Barnsley in their last Championship outing will be absent tomorrow.
Former Posh goalkeeper Ian Bennett has damaged a thumb and heavyweight striker Darius Henderson is suspended. But key defender Matthew Kilgallon hopes to be fit.
Ex-Northampton goalkeeper Mark Bunn is expected to replace Bennett, although Blades boss Kevin Blackwell is also trying to secure the services of a loan keeper. Bunn is already on loan at Bramall Lane from Premier League Blackburn.
If Kilgallon doesn't make it he will be replaced by hard-man central defender Chris Morgan, a legend at Bramall Lane for his committed performances, but loathed at his former club Barnsley for putting Iain Hume in hospital with a careless elbow to the face.
Henderson's absence could lead to a rare chance for Senegalese striker Henri Camara. Camara was a free agent in the summer following erratic service for Wigan, Wolves and West Ham, but eventually persuaded United to give him a chance in the Championship.
Central defender Jonathan Fortune was another player to have to endure a trial before winning a contract, while United loaned full-back Kyle Walker for a season from Spurs a day after selling him to the Premier League giants.
United have hit the loan market hard as midfielder James Harper from Reading and winger Keith Treacey from Blackburn Rovers have been borrowed from other clubs.
Glen Little has been an experienced presence on the substitutes' bench at Bramall Lane. Welsh Under 21 international David Cotterill has also been used regularly as a replacement.
Link men: PLAYERS with a foot in both camps
GOALKEEPER Keith Waugh was one of the most reliable goalkeepers in Posh history. He moved to London Road after failing to break into his hometown Sunderland team in 1976.
He was soon established as first-choice although he shared the goalkeeping duties with Jim Barron when Posh set a club and divisional record of just 33 goals conceded in the Third Division campaign of 1977-78. Posh missed out on automaoic promotion on goal difference that season.
Waugh was an ever-present in the relegation season that followed and the season after that in Division Four. He missed just one match in the 1980-81 campaign before moving to Sheffield United for 90,000 in 1981 after 227 Posh appearances.
He was a Fourth Division title winner with The Blades before moving on to Bristol City and Coventry. He enjoyed two trips to Wembley for Freight Rover Trophy Finals with Bristol and made his one and only appearance in the top flight with Coventry.
Waugh finished his career at Watford and spent a season managing the youth team at Vicarage Road before leaving football for a career in the police.
Waugh was a talented cricketer who opened the batting and bowling for Market Deeping in his time in this area.
