- Blackburn sit 8th and have won three of their last five

John Brooks is the man in the middle tonight. The last time he reffed Posh, it was that unbelievable night at the Valley in November 2017, when Posh had a 2-0 lead in stoppage time but managed to concede twice and draw 2-2.
The last game he took charge of also saw a remarkable comeback, Cardiff stormed back from a 3-0 half-time deficit with 3 goals in 5 second half minutes away at Stoke in their first game after Mick McCarthy was sacked.

Blackpool 0-0 West Brom
Coventry 0-0 Birmingham
Middlesbrough 1-2 Preston
Nottingham Forest 0-0 Luton
Reading 0-1 Sheffield United
Matchday
We go again on the road. This time it’s a trip to Blackburn after a improved but pointless trip to Stoke. Posh will have to ensure they don’t switch off against the other form striker in the league, like they did against Aleksandar Mitrovic and give the red-hot Ben Brereton-Diaz a look at goal as he doesn’t need a second invitation this season. Find out how they get on right here.
