Peterborough United travel to face Lincoln City in League One action on Saturday (March 18, 1pm).

Posh would have been hoping for Sheffield Wednesday to have beaten Bolton on Friday night but the 1-1 draw still means that Posh can close to within four points of sixth place with victory at Lincoln.

They will have to do something that no side has done this season though and leave the LNER Stadium with three points. The hosts have a quite incredible record of four wins and 13 draws in 17 home league matches this season.

Can Posh inflict their first defeat? Find out on the PT live blog below.

Great win for Posh, first time Lincoln have let in 3 at home this season.

Posh defending for the final few minutes.

Knight on for Ward

Kyprianou hasa go from 35 yards, expected result, well over.

It’s Joe Ward!

Smashes in the third from the right of the box, found space in the box and was picked out excellently by Poku. Started with a JCH flick from a throw.

Diamond and Sorensen off

Jovon Makama and Maz Sanders on.

Looks like a midfielder and a winger.

Good play JCH, rolls the ball out widw to Ward to whip a great cross to the backpost, JCH is there waiting for an easy header but its cleared away well.

He’s up, doesn’t look that comfortable though.
