Peterborough United travel to the Kassam Stadium to face Oxford United on Saturday (October 22, 3pm).

Posh come into the game with Grant McCann stating that he has as many as nine or ten injury doubts, which will be a real concern for Posh fans even given Oxford’s lowly position.

Karl Robinson’s men come into the match sitting in 19th and their boss has faced questions about his job this week, despite victory over Exeter in their last league match.

LIVE: Oxford vs Posh

Key Events

  • 3pm kick-off

Booking for Goodrham. Shocking shoulder barge on Butler.

Posh dealing with a series of long throws into the box. They need to get the ball forward though now there’s two up top. Posh still can’t get out or get a hold of this game.

Tyler Goodrham repalces Stuart Findlay.

Posh could have killed it there. JCH brushes off Moore on the left edge of the box, his cut back has too much on it for Marriott though. Burrows picks it up but tires to turn onto his weak foot, falls over and stops the ball getting away from him with his arm.

Back three now, this game is something else. Oxford still look the better on the ball you’d have to say and if they get level, it wouldn’t be undeserved.

EMC off for Marriott

Poku off for Watts

Taylor off Ben Thompson on

Oxford swing in two more corners before Posh can relax as McGuane slashes a shot well wide.

75 mins 2-1 Posh WHAT A BLOCK

Unbelievable.

Butler is tentative to go out and pick up a ball on the left. Oxford win it and swing the ball in. Posh get it away but the ball falls to the edge of the box, Bergstrom is nowhere to be seen and Browne thinks he has a tap-in but there is the out-stretched leg of Edwards to deflect the ball over the top.

McGuane the latest player down to the treatment.

Thompson trying to bring Posh forward, gets to the edge of the box, slips in JCH on the right but it’s a terrible floated cross in that the keeper just catches.
