Peterborough may fancy their chances of a rare away win as they take on Blackpool at Bloomfield Road (December 18, 3pm).

In one of the few games to survive the raft of Covid cancellations, Posh travel to face a Blackpool side who have now won in any of their last seven and haven’t scored in their last four over.

It represents a great chance to take something for only the second away match this season.

Another corner, Dembele’s corner headed out of play, that wasn't a million miles away from the goal..

Headed straight out by Ekpiteta.

First corner Posh now, Taylor digs out an effort that takes a deflection, keeper has to run back but he’s in luck as the ball just bounces on the roof of the net.

A couple of Blackpool corners, first one short, blocked by Grant. The second speared straight onto the head of Madine. Good height for Cornell but that kind of prowess makes you glad they don’t always put the ball in.

He’s walking well enough to the touchline, looks like he will try to come back.

Ref stops play and Dembele is flat on his back in his, everyoen was looking the other way as the ball was in the Posh half...

Looks like he’ll be ok aswell. Did interrupt a bit of Posh momentum though.

Tomlinson takes a whack now. Jumped up with Gabriel. He’s the worse off so far.

Taylor wins the first header but it falls to a cluster of 4 Blackpool players in the right of the box and is cleared. Posh seeing most of the ball this half though.

Dembele fouled again on the left. Surprisingly few on him in the first half, they’re getting them in now.
