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.

QPR goalkeeping crisis
QPR welcomed a new face yesterday, bringing in 37-year-old Keiren Westwood after Mark Warbuton.
David Marshall has been the number one in recent weeks, with regular stopper Seny Dieng out injured. Jordan Archer and Joe Walsh are also injured, so it was a disaster when Marshall was forced off with a hamstring injury against Nottingham Forest last time out. Left back Lee Wallace had to finish the game in goal.
Westwood will debut today, so Posh better get in some shots on target to test him out.
Good news about Jones!
