The match has been moved forward to avoid a potential clash with an England match in the World Cup, only for England to play on Sunday.

Nevertheless, Posh return to league action after two cup defeats and looks to kick-start their campaign that does still see them sitting in fourth.

Barnsley are just a point behind though and have a game in hand so victory tonight is very important.

LIVE: Posh vs Barnsley

Key Events

  • Barnsley just a point behind Posh
  • Joe Ward could be back

90 mins 2-1 Barnsley

Connell the latest time waster. Down holding his face after going vaguely close to JCH’s boot.

Not a chance Posh score here.

90 mins 2-1 Barnsley

JackTaylor keeps trying a straight chipped pass over the defence. Hasn’t worked all night. Hasn’t stopped him trying and messing it up everytime.

90 mins 2-1 Barnsley

Burrows crosses right into the hands of Collins. Nowhere near a blue shirt.

89 mins 2-1 Barnsley

Dear me.

Butler does so well to skin his man on the left. Absolutely balloons it over everyone, awful.

85 mins 2-1 Barnsley

Well that sums up Marriott at the moment. Ball played forward but there is an offside given. Marriott doesn’t know when he latches onto a headed ball back across the box though and it’s easier to cushion it into the bottom right corner but he manages to put it wide.

84 mins 2-1 Barnsley

Cynical challenge Herbie Kane. Slides in on Poku from behind. Yellow card.

83 mins 2-1 Barnsley

Barnsley counter looks like the best route to goal still. Two very mobile forwards in Norwood and Cole up top.
