Peterborough United host surprise promotion contenders Luton Town in the Championship this evening (April 5).

Posh are set to be boosted by the return on Ronnie Edwards and Mark Beevers but have now fallen to eight points adrift of safety, with only seven games to go.

Luton, meanwhile, who operate on a similar budget to Posh, are flying high in fourth and looking for another win to move their impossible dream of reaching the Premier League a step closer.

LIVE: Posh vs Luton

Key Events

  • 7:45pm kick-off
  • Edwards and Beevers likely to return to the squad
  • Norburn ruled out with torn ACL
  • Morton returns to West Brom with shoulder injury
  • Luton could go third with a win

Posh fail to clear the corner and invite a weak shot, fortunately it’s weak and Cornell catches it.

Luton win a corner straight away. Edwards misses a header, Hylton nips in but the effort is deflected wide.

Whipped in by Ward, Shea has to punch it out.

Freekick on the left edge of the box for Posh. Taylor pulled back.

Posh in the middle of a spell now. Knight scythes a cross well wide of the intended target, JCH, but it falls well for Marriott on the left edge. He shoots into the turf though and hits the side netting.

Scuffle between Marriott, JCH, Kioso and Mpanzu. Marriott gets a booking despite the fact Kioso jumps off the ground and gets in Marriott’s face and pushes him. Kiso had stooped for a header and I think it trying to claim Marriott made to hart him. Barely looked any contact.
