Peterborough United vs Ipswich Town: Posh face biggest test of the season
Posh face the biggest game of their season so far as the seemingly unstoppable Ipswich roll into town.
The Tractor Boys haven’t lost a league game since January 21 and that is the size of the task facing Posh if they want to guarantee being in the play-off places at 5pm.
They will most likely have to do it without Nathan Thompson and Joe Ward aswell.

Deflected shot from Davis on the edge of the box. Big kick from Walton and they’re in behind Dan Butler, that’s not a great start.
It’s almost certainly a back three.
Ogbeta, Butler, Edwards, Kent, Ward
Ward’s selection is a surprise, he had a scan on Thursday, which must have gone well.
Ipswich
Christian Walton, Harry Clarke, Luke Woolfenden, Cameron Burgess, Wes Burns, Sam Morsy, Massimo Luongo, Lief Davis, Conor Chaplin, Nathan Broadhead, George Hirst
