Victory could take Posh to six points from safety but defeat could see them effectively relegated with 12 points to make up in four games, with the worst goal difference in the league by a distance.

They may fancy their chances against a play-off chasing but out-of-form Blackburn side, who have won just one of their last seven games. They are boosted by the return of Ben Brereton-Diaz and Bradley Dack in recent weeks.

Posh corner, easily headed out. Continuing to huff and puff without a cutting edge.

78 mins 1-0 Rovers

Burrows sees a pass intercepted, Diaz played in on the left of the box, similar areas to Posh have had but he buries his effort with conviction.

Brereton-Diaz

There isn’t exactly a sense that Posh are going to score here, even with all of the ball. It keeps to coming back to the lack of good passers of the ball in the side.

Optimistic shot from Randall from 25 yards, makes Kamnski save it but it’s comfortable.

They’re going for it now, Fuchs off and on comes the lesser-spotted Joel Randall
