It’s second vs seventh but a victory for Barnsley would take them just a point behind Posh and they still have a game in hand.

Posh can get as close to top as a single point with a victory but that would require defeat for Portsmouth at Exeter.

Could Posh make changes as they are back in action once again on Monday?

LIVE: Posh vs Barnsley

Kioso finds JCH at the far post, no power on the cross, not much JCH can do but put it on target.

Ricky tries a long throw, headed out but Posh are still pushing.

Burrows cross straight to Roberts, time running out.

Decent little spell for Posh now, the press has relaxed somewhat, they were never going to keep that up.

Poku slips a ball in between the centre halves, Jones sets off after it, there's not much more he can do than chase it down and hope for a kind deflection with the keeper sliding in, it goes over the keeper but goes off to the right so there's no scoring chance.

Unlucky.

Excellent cross from Kyprianou, picks out JCH at the backpost butit's a great defensive header and Barnsley break up the other end. Greedy effort rom Cole to shoot from 35 yards while his side were sprinting away on the break. Easy catch above his head for Talley.

Good stuff from Ajiboye to loop a ball over Williams for Kioso on the right wing but he sends a cross sailing out of play.

Barnsley controlling the ball now, still going long and largely being dealt with by Posh but Posh can;t get anything going the other way.

Posh clearing their lines pretty badly tonight, no one there for the second ball. Connell allowed another shot from 25 yards from an Ajiboye clearance , well wide though.

Nobody has control of this at the moment.

Still feels like it can go either way
