Peterborough United travel to Ashton Gate to face Bristol City in the Championship (April 9, 3pm).

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.

Booking for Scott, trips Szmodics. Posh freekcik 35 yards from goal, right of centre.

Cundy off and Zak Vyner on. Looks like a straight swap.

What a frustrating half. Posh have had all of the ball, had more openings, made more chances but find themselves 1-0 down. Cornell hasn’t made a save

Posh now need half time. Burrows and Edwards get in a mess and fail to clear twice. Weimann picks up and floats a ball to Martin, he heads just over.

Snapshop Szmodics, 25 yards out. Not caught by Bentley but easily palmed away and then gathered.

Panic station at the back for Posh as Knight has to dive in lastditch to deny space for Weimann to shoot.
