LIVE: PETERBOROUGH UNITED vs STOKE CITY- Late Clarke-Harris penalty steals a point
They will have to do it without goalkeeper Steven Benda though, who has been ruled out for at least the next three games. The return of Jack Taylor does provide a boost to Posh’s cause though.
Stoke, meanwhile, have not won in any of their last seven games in all competitions and seem to have dropped Posh hero Josef Bursik from their line-up.

79 mins 1-1
A bit end to end here now. Tymon chests down a ball Posh head out of the box and just puts his foot through it to send it towards goal. It’s absolutely speared towards Maja but he can’t make contact, which would almost certainly taken it in.

Audacious overhead kick from Taylor. It is straight at the keeper from a tight angle but it looked great in the air. Ward had put back in an overhit cross from Mumba.

Stoke then win a corner, which is delivered into the box. Chester has to stoop low to turn it goalwards with his head but can’t get it on target.

Stoke haven’t looked as threatening this half but have had moments. They nearly got a bit of luck when Knight smashes Campbell’s cross at Maja. Luckily there is too much power to allow the striker to control it.

Stoke change. Tyrese Campbell on for Thompson. Another attacker onto the pitch. Posh respond with Mumba on for Burows.

Great chance Posh. Jones gets himself into a crossing position bur sends a ball just over everyone. Ward picks up and sends it back in. Bonham comes to claim but drops the ball, it falls into JCH’s back but he isn’t looking at the ball and it hits his back and goes slowly wide. He still could have probably got onto that if he was alive to it.

Posh bring Marriott off and Jones on in his place.
Moments later Wilmot replaces Jagielka. I wonder if that like for like change was a direct response to Posh’s change.
