Peterborough United travel to face Huddersfield Town looking to use the confidence from their midweek FA Cup exploits (March 4, 7:45pm).

The match has been moved to accommodate the hosts’ own FA Cup fifth round tie against Nottingham Forest. In the league, the Terriers are flying high in third and can move into the automatic promotion places with victory, albeit having played five games more.

Posh are looking to haul themselves into 22nd but may be without Joe Ward, who picked up a dead leg against Manchester City.

45 mins 2-0 Huddersfield

Posh just plugging away in the hope they get a break. Huddersfield have brought the tempo right down. Coulson slips over as Szmodics tries to find him in space.

44 mins 2-0 Huddersfield

O’Brien down on halfway, Knight caught his knew on the followthrough in a tackle. Physios are working on his leg.

43 mins 2-0 Huddersfield

Huddersfield almost want to sit back but Posh are so passive and lacking in confidence, it’s like they have no choice but to come forward. Posh have lost their direction and are just giving the ball away constantly.

39 mins 2-0 Huddersfield

Coulson they gives the ball away and Huddersfield break. Posh are lucky O’Brien’s touch out wide to Thomas as way too much on it.

38 mins 2-0 Huddersfield

Good ball from Szmodics in between the two centre backs for Jones to get onto. He has to cut back and beat Pearson but isn’t able to and the defender gets his leg there.
