Sheffield United just bringing the pace of this game down a notch, they have a lead they feel they can keep. Probably won’t do them harm just keeping it for a but as Posh have looked able to exploit their defence when they come forward.

Dembele currently down receiving treatment, looks like he got a stray arm to the face.

Before Posh defend a corner. Taylor replaces Norburn

Burrows reads the short one well and Norburn gets out to Osborn to block his long range follow up.

Free-kick right in the edge. Looks like a penalty on the replay as Butler pulls down Sharp from behind.

What a shame that was. Posh should have been 2-1 in front and in a matter of moments were 3-1 down. These harsh lessons about the Championship are getting tiresome. Sheffield United back to running riot.

Nearly 4! Posh stretched as they try to recover from that double blow, a ball in behind gives Gibbs-White a chance to run at Butler, he taps it passed him and is in one-on-one with Pym from a tight angle. Pym covers his angles though and makes the save.

Knightmare few minutes for Kent. Posh lose the ball in the left of their own half. Ndiaye sets Sharp running on the right, he gets into the box, Kent comes out of meet him but proves no obstacle to the frontman, he rolls a ball across the face of the box that is tapped in at the nearpost by Fleck.

That is rubbish from Kent. Has the ball under no pressure well inside his own half, gifts the ball right so Sharp, he knocks it to Fleck in behind Kent and he pokes and effort wide of the onrushing Pym and it dribbles into the net.

2-1 Sheffield United
