There could be a couple of new faces of show. Callum Morton will be looking to build on his impressive cameo against Birmingham, while there is a chance that Jeando Fuchs could be involved, despite only arriving yesterday.

Posh will be hoping to avenge being for hitting six at Brammall Lane in September.

Posh still in this at only 1- but they have not posed a threat at all in this half. Don’t think Foderingham has touched the ball.

Jut befoer the changes, Norrinton-Davies had skinned Mumba and put it on the head of McGoldrick. He pulls of Kent and loops a header over.

Tomlinson and Marriott off for Morton and Ward. Looks like the same formation but Ward on the right and Mumba comes over to the left.

Hourihane into the book for a late challenge on THompson midway into the Sheffield United half. Tomlinson to take too floaty and headed away.

Ball into the box again. Benda comes for the punch but gets nowhere near it. The ball comes out to Norwood though who nearly scores a goal of the day contender with a viscous shot from 30 yards, it’s going straight into the top corner until it just hits Knight.

Marriott has as chance to break but chops it onto his own foot and loses it. He looks knackered. As does Fuchs, he looked like he was slowing p just before the goal and did not get out to stop the ball being played into the box.

Very poor from Thompson for that one. The ball comes is pinging around in the box. It come to Thompson who has it under control but he doesn't clear it and passes it out, straight to Sharp, still in the box and he makes no mistake placing it in the corner.

What an excellent run from Poku. Grant wins the ball in his own box, short pass to Poku deep in his own half, he carries it all the way up tot the attacking third, should release it though with JCh left and Marriott right. A shame but he is terrifying them with his running.
