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

What a fantastic ball from that man, Burrows stands a ball right up in the six0yard box to JCH and he powers in a header to the bottom corner, great stuff.

46 mins 2-1 Barnsley

Oh dear, bouncing ball that Burrows decided os head back to Talley but the keeper sprints and and very nearly overruns it, has to launch himself to his right to prevent an open goal for Cole, not the composed start Posh were after.

51 mins 2-1 Barnsley

Great chance Randall now!

Ball falls loose to him in the box after a scramble, he gets a shot away from the edge of the six yard box but Roberts is able to save, maybe he should have scored.

94 mins 2-1 Barnsley

Barnsley come close to restoring their 2-goal lead. Ball in from Phillips causes panic and Knight clears the ball onto Edwards and just wide.

Ball in from the corner cleared to Kane, saved by Talley and Phillips blasts the rebound over the bar from about 6 yards.

48 mins 2-1 Barnsley

Great cross Ajiboye right onto JCH's head to the near post, keeper nearly pulls off a brilliant save but it still squirms under him

That's more like it JCH
