Two teams in terrible form fighting for their lives to remain in this division next season. Lose and it almost feels like curtains for Posh, who would slip five points from safety and have to travel to face a Derby side breathing down their necks under unimaginable pressure on Saturday. It’s must-not lose but you could certainly make a good case for it being a must-win too.
