Peterborough United host Charlton Athletic in League One action on Tuesday night (February 28, 7:45pm).

Posh host Charlton in a rearranged game from January that was called off less than an hour and a half before kick-off.

The club’s owners made a generous offer to visiting fans on that day but will hope that is as far as generosity extends tonight as Posh look to keep up their play-off push tonight.

Victory could move Posh within six points of the final spot or even four if Cheltenham can pull off an unlikely result at Pride Park.

LIVE: Posh vs Charlton

Key Events

  • 7:45pm kick-off
  • Posh can close to as close as 4 from the play-offs
  • Posh have won 5 from 7 in the league
  • The sides drew 1-1 on Boxing Day

Charlton still not exactly making the extra man count, Posh coming forward but not fidning the quality of pass. Ricky playing very deep, which is unusual.

Leaburn and Penney on

Sessegnon and Fraser off.

Another great tackle Edwards, this time he takes it off Rak-Sakyi as he breaks into the box. The Charlton man is being booed everytime he touches the ball, quite right.

Great block Ronnie. As Charlton carve Posh open down the left. Shot from the edge of the six-yard box but Ronnie throws himself at it.

Jones makes a run down the right, floats a ball across for JCH. He does all he can, plants a header towards goal that Ness chests down and clears. Posh just as likely to score.

Posh are actually having a bit of a spell now. Good corner swung in, Kent throws himself at it. Cleared away just before he gets there.

Poku and Kyprianou off

Poku and Norburn on.

Michael Hector off for Charlton, Blackett-Taylor on.

This is getting ridiculous, Taylor barged over in the box, clear foul. Not given and Dobson is allowed to shoot, blazes over.

Right then, time to try and calm down and find a way out of this game.

Posh have put in a few decent crosses looking for JCH in the last few minutes. He heads the latest back to Poku, who just has it just nicked off his foot.

Just seen the replay, Rak-Sakyi has punched Knight in the face. Incredible.
