LIVE: QUEENS PARK RANGERS vs PETERBOROUGH UNITED- Second half turnaround gives Posh brilliant win
Victory would be Posh’s third over the same opponents this season after 2-1 and 2-0 wins in the league and FA Cup respectively.
They will have to do it without young star Ricky-Jade Jones though after he picked up a shoulder injury against Swansea.
The club will also have to be careful with Sammie Szmodics after he looked to limp off in the same game, having only just returned from injury.

Posh seeing all of the ball here. Knight with an exquisite touch out of the air just now. Would be on every highlight reel going if it was De Bruyne.
2 mins 0-0
First chance and it goes for Posh. Edwards pushing high pressurises Sanderson and he gives the ball away. His back pass is poor, Szmodics runs onto it on the edge of the box. He hits it first time though towards the corner and its a weak effort the keeper falls on.
QPR line-up
Kieren Westwood, Sam McCallum, Dion Sanderson, Rob Dickie, Jimmy Dunne, Albert Adomah, Andre Dozzell, Sam Field, Luke Amos, Ilias Chair, Andre Gray
Subs: Murphy Mahoney, Yoann Barbet, Charlie Austin, Dominic Ball, George Thomas, Moses Odubajo, Jeff Hendrick

Half an hour until the teams
My Peterborough United team: Posh will need to replace the pace of Ricky-JadeJones to continue hold over Championship promotion contenders
Peterborough United travel to face Queens Park Rangers on Sunday (March 20, 12:30pm), a side they have already beaten twice before this season.
Team news
Long-term absentees Nathan Thompson, Joel Randall and Dan Butler remain out as does Steven Benda, the club believes today will be his last match out injured.
Ricky-Jade Jones was cursed by injury once again on Wednesday night and will be a big loss for Posh. Szmodics had a slight limp when coming off on Wednesday, he had only just returned from a groin injury and will certainly be wrapped in cotton wool by McCann.
