Anything on the line?

Well yes, one thing. Posh can still finsih the best of the relegated sides. Currently they are level on 34 points with Derby but are behind the Rams because of a terrible goal difference of -49, compared to -7.

Derby are at home to 19th placed Cardiff, victory seals them 22nd but anthing less lets Posh in, provided they better the result. Some minor prize money and pride at stake.
