Key Events

  • 3pm kick-off
  • Jack Marriott set to return to the squad
  • Steven Benda in contention to make Posh debut
  • Posh can move level with Reading in 21st with a win
  • West Brom haven’t won any of their last five
  • The Baggies was only scored 31 in 26 league games but have the division’s best defence

You can see why West Brom don’t score many. They really don't need these three centre halves. It’s not exactly a siege but only one side is carrying a threat.

More danger, Knight makes the block from Grant after another good ball in. Burrows is really struggling now.

Good ball in aswell. Kent wins it but the header loops harmlessly towards goal but out of play.

Posh have a corner. First of the game. Wahey.

Diangana with magic feet, jinks his way past three Posh players in the box. He finally lays it off for Grant to shoot and Mumba to block but Posh could not get anywhere near. He does it again just moments later, this time he works himself a shooting edge of the box. Straight at Benda though. He looks a real livewire.

The second half can finally start, Grant gets in down the left, loops a ball in towards JCH. Headed out but Posh have looked brighter in these few minutes. Kent has gone into the middle of the back three.

Dike pulls up now. Looks like his hamstring is gone. It was his full debut as well. On will come Diangana.

Josh Knight is going to come on here.

Edwards looks shaken, undergoing a concussion test.

Kipre allowed the freedom of the Hawthorns straight away. Crosses for Dike on the ege of the six yard box and he should do better with the header. He’s clashed heads with Edwards in the follow-through.
