Posh know that a win today and they are definitely in the play-offs due to the fact Bolton contest the EFL Trophy final this weekend.

Derby also host Ipswich but Posh must focus on the job in hand, beating an Oxford side that are winless in 11.

Ten of those were under old boss Karl Robinson, however, rather than new boss Liam Manning, who takes charge of his second game.

Oxford have the ball in the net from a quick counter, but it’s offside. They had a 2 on 1.

Butler heads the ball back across from the free-kick, a bit of head tennis but Oxford get it away.

Joseph yellow, pulls back Ogbeta.

This is really just a trainign game now, Oxford have 11 men back in the area before a weak header gives JCH the chance to try an overhead kick, well wide.
