Peterborough United are looking to stretch their unbeaten run to three matches as they host Swansea City tonight (March 16, 7:45pm).

Posh have drawn their last two but are in need of wins if they are to overhaul the seven points that currently seperates them from Championship safety.

They will be boosted in this pursuit by the fact that Sammie Szmodics is fit to return from injury.

Russell Martin brings his inconsistent Swans into the match sitting 16th in the table.

90 mins 3-2 Swansea

Into the keeper’s hands.

90 mins 3-2 Swansea

Late booking for Piroe. Trips Edwards. Posh freekick on half way. May just be time.

90 mins 3-2 Swansea

Now a Mumba long range shot easily saved down low by Fisher. That may be it.

90 mins 3-2 Swansea

Ward flings a ball into the box. Joe Taylor hooks it into the danger area, head tennis but it won’t fall for a Posh player.

90 mins 3-2 Swansea

Posh are still going but Swansea have packed the midfield now and are closing down the space.

90 mins 3-2 Swansea

Jay Fulton comes on for Paterson.

90 mins 3-2 Swansea

Ntcham shot and not a good one, it hits Paterson and falls perfectly inside the box for Piroe to smash it in. How’s your luck?

Good save Cornell, has to get low to his right to save Christie’s effort from the left of the box.

Knight tries another of his runs. Ended abruptly by Naughton’s shoulder barge. Yellow card.

Swansea hold such a high line for the freekick, which is on half way and Cabango heads it away.

Knight has been kicked in the centre circle by Piroe. Ref plays advantage but when does Posh lose the ball, he lets play go on despite Knight still being injured. When Posh win it back and try to come forward. He stops it. Ridiculous.

He’s ok after a couple of minutes treatment.

Posh have stabilised after all the Swansea pressure after the Posh goal. The press has come back and Swansea haven’t had the time on the ball they wanted. The passes in the final third aren’t getting through though and the chances have dried up.

Kyle Joseph comes on for Obafemi up top.

Posh are missing Jones badly, it’s been a real blow. He was getting Posh up the pitch and Swansea were scared of him.

Joe Taylor replaces JCH just as Cabango gets a yellow card for pulling back Jack Taylor as he was trying to break.

Now Posh take the initiative after conceding. Ward sends in two dangerous corners. Cabango has to head the first off the head of JCH.
