On paper, this looks to be one of the most winnable games that Posh have remaining given that their opponents sit 19th in the table and have won only one of their last seven matches.

Posh edged closer to League One on Tuesday night but will be hoping to end the season with pride. Sammie Szmodics will be up for this one in particular as he heads to face the club he spent an unhappy year with in the Championship. He scored two when the sides met at the Weston Homes Stadium earlier in the season.

Wow, JCH puts pOsh back in it. Massengo had fouled Knight 40 yards from goal. The ball was pumped intothe box, it falls to Marriott but it’s a weak poke at goal but there are three Posh bodies queing up to put it in and JCH does so.

Szmodics and Jones off Kent and Marriott on.

Three at the back, Poku and Burrows wing backs now.

City finding space easier to come by now, they play a lovely passing move all te way across the pitch that Posh can’t get anywhere near, Martin just messes up the final pass.
