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.

18 mins GREAT SAVE

Great save Cornell, lovely run and cross from Onyendinma on the right. Stands up a ball at the backpost, which Adebayo rises to and heads back where it came. Cornell has to push it over the bar.

Lively game. Neither side really on top. Adebayo causing the main threat for Luton. Seems to be everywhere, he is big but also has pace. Luton mostly going long, midfielders not seeing much of it.

Onyendinma yellow for a foul on JCH. Clear trip. Has to be a yellow because he’s set the bar so low with Fuchs. Not a good idea.

Free-kick Luton on the left. Fuchs challenges Adebayo for the ball, the forward just gets there first, Fuchs doesn’t even trip him but its a foul and he’s also yellow cardrd. Ridiculously harsh.

Poku looks keen to shoot at every opportunity he gets. Fires one off from 25 yards this time, hits Kioso square in the face. He’s styling it out well but that must have hurt.

Luton sitting off here. Giving Posh confidence to come forward. That little spell came ut of nowhere, when Luton has started well.

Posh are flying forwrad now. Burrows has a snapshot from 30 yards. To the credit of Shea, he pushed it away from danger well.

POSH NEARLY SCORED A SET PIECE.

Burrrows puts the ball right on the head of Kent, he rose well and Shea has to tip it onto the post.

Luton with all of the early ball but Posh have threatened to spring the break twice, with quick balls over the top. No luck as of yet though.

Luton playing with a three. Kioso in the middle. Bell and Onyendina wing backs. Unusual choice for Kioso, has often played wing back in the past.
