Peterborough United host Sheffield United in the Championship at the Weston Homes Stadium this evening (5:30pm, January 29).

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.

More of the same possession wise for Sheffield United, a few dangerous balls into the box that Posh have managed to get away.

Here we go for the second half

Amongst it all, Posh are holding well. Hourihane tricks past Thompson and finds himself a shooting chance 20 yards out but scuffs it well wide, they may grow frustrated if this keeps up.

Just like that Posh almost score! Poku lays a deft ball in behind Robinson. JCH is onto it but there was a smidgen too much pace on it and he can only poke at the ball and Foderingham gets out and makes the block.

Incredibly sloppy play from Posh to leave Norwood all alone on the edge of the box from a short corner routine. He hangs up an excellent cross to Egan at the far post. He has to score but plants his header over when unmarked. Posh very lucky,

Sheffield United coming on strong again. Bogle is beating Tomlinson or Knight every tie, great skill again and fires a shot away clean this time, just wide of the far post.

Benda spills a Bogle sot but Posh manage to get bodies around the ball and crowd out Sharp on the follow-up

Knight with a flying block from Norwood on the edge. Egan comes to the front post and wins the header unchallenged but heads back across the goal and over.

Wild shot over from Norwood but just before Mumba had run fro the halfway line all the way into Sheffield United’s box. Crowded out but him anad Poku are causing real problems with their running.
