LIVE: BLACKBURN ROVERS vs PETERBOROUGH UNITED- Marriott secures Posh victory
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.

Peterborough United could equal a bad 19 year-club record on Good Friday
Peterborough United Posh will equal a 19 year-old club record if they fail to beat Blackburn Rovers in a Championship fixture at the Weston Homes Stadium on Good Friday.
Last time out
This is probabaly best not talked about actually but Posh were well beaten on a dismal night in November. Posh were 3-0 down at half-time. Kent and Beevers were removed at the break and so began long exiles from the side. Six games later, Kent found his way back in and has been good since but Beevers has never truly recovered.
Diaz scored twice and Pickering rather embarrassingly outjumped Kent for the first. This Blacburn side has a lot less confidence though and that could play a factor.
All the permutations for the Easter weekend
Peterborough United could be on back on the up by the end of the Easter weekend, or they could be down! The permutations are here
Peterborough United could be relegated or just three points from safety at the end of the Easter weekend.

Well, today is a big day. Posh could effectively be releated today. Worst case scenario, they could end up 12 points behind Reading with four to play and with Posh’s poor goal difference, that would be that.
Alternatively, they could move to six adrieft, with Barnsely coming up on Easter Monday, another draw though owuld be absolutely useless.
