Peterborough United will be boosted by the presence of Callum Morton for the first time since his arrival as they travel to face Birmingham City in a Championship fixture at St Andrews this evening (January 25, 7:45pm).

Posh will also have the chance to record their first league double of the season after dispatching the Blues 3-0 at home in September.

Birmingham come into the match amidst rumours about manager Lee Bowyer’s position and unrest from the fans at the poor ownership and lack of direction the club seems to have.

It’s becoming clear Roberts long throws is Birmingham’s gameplan. Three already. Looks like a 4th but he goes short last minute and Marriott blocks Sunjic’s cross with his hand.

Excellent long throw from Roberts into a good area, well headed out by Posh. That’s a weapon to watch out for. Even start so far.

It’s wing-backs. Poku looks like he’s in behind Marriott and Clakre-Harris.
