Posh go in search of a place in the EFL Trophy knockout rounds against Wycombe Wanderers this evening (October 18).

Posh need to avoid defeat to secure their place in the knockout rounds. Goal difference would see them through even if Wycombe went on to win a penalty shootout after a draw, so long as Tottenham Under 21s do not win by five goals.

Posh made wholesale changes for the first game of the group against Stevenage but picked a first-choice XI to face Spurs.

LIVE: Wycombe vs Posh

Key Events

  • Second meeting between the sides in four days

90 mins Wycombe sub

Christie Ward replaces Adam Leathers. Like for like in midfield.

Posh put a free-kick from their own half into the box. Watts wins it, as he has all day. He puts off Stryjek and the ball comes out to JCH, he loops a shot over the keeper but there is Farino on the line to hook it away. Was good skill but too many bodies about for it to work really.

Frankie Kent on for Jack Marriott as Posh solidify.

Wycombe now coming forward again. Free-kick from deep, Farino heads on and there is Freeman to try his luck from 30 yards, not far over.

Leathered out of play. Terrible effort gfrom Kaikai,

Posh of course have 3 strikers on, so this last 5 minutes could be interesting.

Wycombe have a free-kick right in the left edge of the boc.

Posh back to going through as it stands.

Outstanding diagonal ball from Burrows. JCH pulls off his marker at the backpost and just guides a header into the far corner. Great goal.
