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.

Good covering tackle from Kent on the edge of the box to stop Cole after Fuchs looked to be fouled in his own half.

Posh are lining up in the 4-3-3. Ben Thompson the most advanced of the midfield. A very high defensive line from Barnsley. Much like Lincoln...
