Peterborough United host Bristol Rovers in League One action on Saturday (April 29, 3pm).

We have arrived at the must-win stage of the season for Posh, with this the final home game of the season.

Only a win guarantees that Posh will take the play-off race to the final game of the season, anything else and Bolton and Derby have the chance to seal their passage to extending their seasons with victories over Fleetwood and Portsmouth at home respectively.

Find out if Posh can keep their push going on the PT live blog below.

Key Events

  • 3pm kick-off
  • Bolton host Fleetwood, Derby host Portsmouth
  • Posh must win to guarantee taking race to the last day
  • Ricky-Jade Jones back available

Posh coming forward, EMC sends a cross to the backpost, Ward heads it down for Taylor but he can;t get a shot away, Ogbeta is also crowded out.

Ward short to Poku bu the ball is far too deep, ut back intowards Ward, flicked back out for a corner.

Second one is flicked at the hear post by Taylor, looks a good one but it appears to hit Mason-Clark.

Posh seeing most of the ball but largely relying on Kent hoofing it upfield to little success. All a bit slow.

First corner though.

Poku sees a shot blocked on the edge of the area as Posh start on the front-foot.

Loft and Coburn are up front for Rovers. Collins on the wing, oddly.

It looks like a back four with Knight at right back.

It looks like it’s still a back three but with Knight in for Butler and Poku for Kyprianou, with Taylor sliding back.

Knight could be right back though, we’ll see.
