LIVE: PETERBOROUGH UNITED VS MIDDLESBROUGH- Posh well beaten by Middlesbrough
Posh will be without the services of captain Oliver Norburn and goalkeeper Steven Benda. Ronnie Edwards is also a doubt after suffering with Covid this week.
They could welcome back Ricky-Jade Jones though to face a Middlesbrough side whose charge up the table in recent weeks has stalled slightly with only two wins in their lest five. One of the two defeats came away at Barnsley.

53 mins 1-0 Boro
The move to take JCH off has just left Posh unable to keep the ball upfront and Boro are just having it easy up there and attackign at will.
Nothing ball into the box. Goes over the head of Knight, Fernandez is there but just watches it across the face of goal to Balogan, who taps it in. Cornell also motionless.
47 mins 1-0 Boro
From that, Connolly cuts inside and shoots, weak effort though easily saved by Cornell.
46 mins 1-0 Boro
Both Jones and Szmodics hauled down on the edge of the box, nothing given. Dijksteel tapped, goes over and its a foul. Incredible.
