Posh travel to Oakwell to face Barnsley on the final day of the League One season (May 7, 12pm).

The equation is simple for Posh, they must win this game.

Anything less and Derby will take the final play-off place, even a win may not be good enough if the Rams avoid defeat at Sheffield Wednesday.

Posh will also have to get the job done without Nathanael Ogbeta, whose loan spell has been ended by injury.
