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.

Key Events

  • 5:30pm kick-off
  • Beevers, Norburn, Taylor, Burrows, Dembele all absent
  • Jeando Fuchs makes his debut from the start
  • Sheffield United without Morgan Gibbs-White through injury
  • Sheffield United sit 12th, nine points off the play-offs

Posh face what is an inconsistent side. A look at their last 5 league games shows that. The Blades managed to take three points from Craven Cottage but not Pride Park and they couldn’t hold on for a win despite being 2-0 up against Preston. Posh snapped a 3-match losing run last time out but we all know it should have been more, it will be interesting to see how this one plays out.
