LIVE: Barnsley vs Peterborough United- Posh ahead at the break through Marriott
Today represents the first game in which Posh can berelegated. That would happen unless Posh pick up more points than Reading, who host Swansea.
Picking up the same number of points would not see Posh go down officially but there is no chance of turning around the goal difference gap.
Barnsley are one point worse off than Posh, so both sides will be desperate to win and stay alive, at least for another week.
