Peterborough United travel to Bloomfield Road to face Blackpool in the EFL Trophy semi-final (February 20, 8pm).

Posh are on a four-match losing run but can put their league struggles behind them from a night as they are just one win from Wembley and the final of the trophy they last lifted in 2014.

The tie will be decided tonight and with a penalty shootout if the match is a draw after 90 minutes.

Off the line Ekpiteta.

Mothersille brushes off Husband, drives into the box, finds Randall in the middle, deft touch off to EMC arriving on the left of the box, blocked well by Gabriel but it loops towards an empty net but not quickly enough.

Blackpool sub

CJ Hamilton on for Connolly, that's an attacking change.

Winger for full back
