LIVE: Birmingham vs Posh

Jones and Fernandez clash heads as both go for the ball, keeper claims but both down.

Corner Posh, good start this.

What a cock up.

Jones has tackled the keeper as he dawdles on a backpass and it goes right into the net. He’s not done his homework...

It is a Posh 4-2-3-1

Posh corner straight away, Sparkes to take.

It’s flicked only just wide by Jones. early chance

Some rather dramatic flames and fireworks as the teams walk out, shame it's a lovely bright day in September

I suspect it’s a 4-2-3-1 for Posh
