Peterborough United host Cheltenham Town in League One on Saturday (March 11, 3pm).

The return game on the opening day of the season was an absolute thriller with Posh storming back from 2-0 down at half time but Posh will be hoping for an easier ride today.

Especially since they have now closed to within seven points of the play-off places and will be looking to keep up the pressure.

Find out if they can on the PT live blog below.

That’s a great hit from May. Edge of the box, gets over it and smashes the ball right into the roof of the net on the haly volley. Not closed down.

Pitiful, just the sense that nothing is going to happen. Burrows lashes a cross right out of play from a great position, Cheltenham are under no pressure.

Yellow for Broom, blocks the takng of a free kick, known excatly what he’s doing.

Keena off for Will Goodwin

Ferry off for Ben Williams

Wow, Posh break quickly and have a 4 on 3. JCH is screaming for it, Tshimanga wants it too but Taylor runs right dwon the middle of the pitch and slices an effort into the hands of the keeper.

This is dismal stuff, Norburn and Taylor heading backwards into the box with Posh under pressure. Ball falls to Keena to shoot on the volley, well over the bar though.
