Peterborough United host Barnsley at the Weston Homes Stadium on Friday night (December 29, 7:45pm).

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

EMC and Katongo off

Jones and Kyprianou on

Posh are going wing backs

Post!

great effort from a tough angle right on the left edge of the box from EMC. Hits the near post, was never going to go in from there really.

Big block Edwards, long range effort from Kane looked to be heading into the bottom corner before Edwards threw out a leg. Posh failed to clear their lines.

Triple Barnsley change

Kacper Lopata, Nicky Cadden, Max Watters on

O'Keeffe, Phillips, McAtee off

Big penalty shout Posh, looked a great shout. EMC taken down as a defender slid in from behind.

Caught fire now, Ajiboye gives the ball away trying to bring it out of the defensive third, loses it to Connell who tries his luck from 25 yards, Talley has to push it around the post.

EMC smothers a shot at goal, Roberts easily saves at his near post.

That had to be a goal.

Posh make a mistake and Ronnie gets caught too deep and plays Cole onside from a long ball, he's all on his own on the left, he drives to the left edge of the box from the wing, cuts a ball back for O'Keeffe to run onto and hit, he's got the freedom of Peterborough but crashes an effort off the underside of the bar.

Bit of a midfield battle at the moment.

Here comes Poku, Randall off.

Great atmosphere now. Both teams look capable of scoring and really going for this.
