Peterborough United host Sheffield Wednesday in League One this evening (August 16).

Posh have the chance to bounce back quickly from Saturday’s defeat at Plymouth. They perhaps wouldn’t have selected this tie to do just that though as pre-season title favourites are in town and will be bringing just under 4000 fans with them.

Fresh from three back-to-back wins, the Owls will be full of confidence.

Posh will still be without Kwame Poku as they try to register a second home win of the season.

Key Events

  • 7:45pm kick-off

Marriott whistles a shot past the right hand post after he does well to turn Iorfa, nearly a stunner.

Kyprianou replaces Ben Thompson. Not a bad final act of the game.

Its another header, this time Ben Thompson with the inch=perfect ball in and its the head of Jack Taylor that turns it past Stockdale.

Back 4 for Wednesday now, soaking up a lot of Posh pressure. Lots of block and headers clear.

Wednesday sub 1-0 Posh

They’re going for in attacking midfielder Windass on for centre back Ihiekwe

Posh haven’t exactly pressed their advantage, a few sloppy passes but the recovery tackles have been spot on.

Smart low stop Stackdale from a Marriott turn and shot at the near post down low. Another inventive corner routine, Ward with the nice pass.

Ward has been sending in balls all night and finally one lands right on the head of its intended target and in the middle of the goal, just a few yards out, makes no mistake.
